[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1420391, member: 105102"] When I went to Ak moose hunting with archery, I packed a DE .50AE. My father in law asked why I wasn't carrying my .17 HMR which is much lighter.....He figured I could shoot myself with that just as well once a bear was chewing on me! (I was engaged, and almost didn't marry my wife after that one!) In all seriousness, if I ever go back into bear country with a bow, I will probably pack a 12 gauge with Dixie Tri-balls. I have played with these a fair bit and load them myself, and I can't imagine a more potent Bear load. If you don't know what they are, Google it, but its a 3" shell with 3 .60 cal balls stacked up. Out of my shotgun, all three balls stay in the size of my palm at 40 yrds. [/QUOTE]
