No offense, but I never thought of anything on the East Coast as "dangerous game".
If you are hunting with a firearm, that is your best defense. If you are hunting with a bow (and it is legal to carry while doing so), I would be comfortable with either caliber with proper ammo.
I carry a .45 ACP while bow hunting only because I am afraid a mountain lion will eat me for lunch. Black bears don't scare me nearly enough to worry about.
