    in Bear country generally just pepper spray...if an animal is down in bear country I will if possible come back to my downed animal with a firearm if it requires several trips out. A deer I can generally drag outin one trip ..just pepper spray.

    Rossi RH92 in 44 mag. Weighs 5lbs full of rounds and points like a magic wand. Aquaintences have said it's not powerful enough but I believe it may have more effectiveness than throwing rocks or my own dung in a bear fight.

    Over 40 years of Bowhunting and never carried a back up fire arm . The last five years I have a back up fire arm for when retrieving game , but never had the chance to use it ! LOL

    Yup. Over the last 5 years, I've carried a small 12ga shotgun. I'd never get it out in time if charged. Only really carry it for after an animal is down.
