[QUOTE="Catahoula, post: 1521064, member: 28707"] All this talk about rifles & pistols is great. No one mentioned bear spray. The only thing I can say after a very serious charge by a sow black bear with 3 cubs is that their speed is amazing. This bear charged from 25 yards & I did not have time to get my rifle off my shoulder. I was packing a 300 Win Mag. At about 7 feet my 2 Catahoula Curs came around on either side of me & took the bear head-on. I could have kicked her while they were sparring. With 3 cubs I did not want to shoot her. My dogs finally convinced her to go up a tree. Without those 2 dogs I think I would have been a statistic. So carry a big gun but realize that things happen fast. Thanks, Kirk [/QUOTE]
