>>2461979well that also has some qualifications.
guns will pretty much always work on black bears.
grizzlies are a fun puzzle that I will one day solve.
there is no gun on the market that I feel totally comfortable with for grizzlies. thus, I have set out to create a grizzly gun. maybe one day, you will create your own grizzly gun.
(my go to is a saiga 12 clone or a 44 magnum automatic rifle) neither inspires confidence. I'm going to throw a 9.3 brenneke barrel on a garand and see where that will take me.
it's funny that sign doesn't recommend handguns. desu, I do not either.
after seeing a white woman take a face full of pepper gel, I'm convinced I can't rely on pain as a deterrent. I understand bears are far far more sensitivev still wouldn't risk it. shotgun with brenneke slug or big game rife only.
