[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1566579, member: 21869"] Ive spent alot off time in grzz areas because it was my main elk spots.I carry 44 on a 2 1/2'' ring below my belt,swivles with your leg walking tied down,always easy to reach.It is below my waist belt,on pack or fanny pack.As mentioned above,we where coming around tight corner in ravine and where right on grizz,we where trying both to stay in the saddle.My bud always road with pistol,me never.Did after that,didnt want to walk out 8-10 miles in grzz area unarmed.Have had several bluff charges,as well as many of my friends.As far as cats I pack for them now too,never did.My main hunting buddy was stalked 3 times by cats,killed one at 9 yrds in ID with long bow after yelling at it,my kid was stalked,and I guy I worked with shot 145 # tom right near his home from the hip while whitetail hunting.The cats are silent,bear will usually puff at you.Had lots of grizz give warnings.Also have sent warning shots right between there legs ,that only briefly deterred them.Called one in bowhunting,then it turned out to be about 4,I was backing out with pistol in hand when it turned into a bear fight,that will raise the hair on the back of your neck.Jogged out in dark. Guy was hunting about 3 miles from my house for deer and heard brush break,bear was on him as he backed up and lifted rifle,fell back.Bit and shock him and that was enough to tear his ligaments etc.Hurt him pretty bad,was last fall.He never got a shot off,rifle on shoulder,I front carry for last close to twenty years [/QUOTE]
