Last hunt I was on was in Talkeetna,AK. 9 grizzly encounters in 2 days, all of them personal, 2 ended in dead bears. You bet your butt I carry backup. 2 came crashing right through camp. The rifle won't be in your hands while your stirring beans or pouring coffee, but the .454 was on the hip.

If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.
