Renfield: I think that the question is not whether you would like to go after a bear. But rather, what to carry just in case a bear decides to go after you.
If I was planning on going after a bear, I would want as much firepower as possible – a Gatling machine gun comes to mind – just joking. But that is just me. I would probably spend more time messing up my pants than shooting anyway. At least I can´t be sure that I wouldn’t.
And I think that most people are like me – very unsure what they will really do in a close encounter with a dangerous animal like a bear.
If I was planning on spending a Sunday afternoon in the woods with a very remote chance of running in to a bear, I would find it more realistic to carry a 357 magnum revolver than a shot gun.
If on the other hand I was going to a place with a greater chance of running in to an angry bear, I would not go alone. I would bring my friends: Jungle Jim, Indiana Jones and a half dozen other known gun slingers – just in case.
