How typical
Hiker who was attacked by a grizzly in Yellowstone has died in the hospital.
Park Service personnel in a group went to investigate the area were charged by the bear, which was shot at a range of approximately 20 yards.
Their advice? Carry spray. Do as I say. Hiker may had had spray.

.44 Magnum easier to pack IMHO.

you know you are supposed to carry a small 25auto,
easy to carry, and you use it to shoot your hiking partner in the knee , so they can't outrun the bear,

Back in the 80's, with friends, enjoying that stretch where hot springs feed into the Gardiner river at the north end of the park. A grizzly was nearby, as was a ranger with a .44. Bear eventually went its own way, but yeah, "who's between me and the bear?" is definitely a thing.
Please pleae please shoot a grizzly at Yellowstone.

.44 does the job effectively. One on the throat would cool it down.

Used to be you had an opposing viewpoint. Used to be i could see where you were coming from even though i often had to reach for it. Nowadays your postings just get more and more assinine than the previous.
Have to wonder if you have problems elsewhere in life. Seriously. I almost want to pity you, but that's not happening. It has come down to disrespect.
Be proud of that if you so choose. Ater all you earned it.
