My main season (moose), & the only hunting I got to do this year ended Sept 25. I got out with a friend for 4 hunting days. We saw a couple of legal bulls but there were all close to a mile away & chasing cows the wrong direction so no shots fired. I took a rifle on that hunt since I hadn't shot any hunting handguns in WAY TOO LONG!
So to answer the question, my next season will be spring bear & I intend to be packing the my 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk in 480 (with Ultra Dot). Big question right now is bullet choice. Hunting will be a black bear & coastal brown bear here in Alaska. Recomendations???
