    Hmmm...
    If its me I'd prolly forget it in the tent! LOL
    But hypothetically speaking a short bbl 12 ga. is prolly the best answer, pump action with mag loaded and action open or double SXS unloaded till you need it. The pump can take a small flashlite mounted under the bbl. if you like. prolly hvy buckshot is best for real close ranges, unless its a premium slug I would'nt bother with them.
    Problem is there could be safety concerns with this scenario.

    It is easier to get forgivness than it is permission.


    It has been pointed out to us that the proper number to consider in the event of violent aggression is "911"- if you are of the rabbit people. Others will do better to place their faith in the number "1911".

    Model 12 with a heavy load....there is alway 2 or 3 in the tent in moose camp in northeastern Manitoba. I have had to shoot 2 bears just outside the campsite the evening after they got too close the night before. The tin can trick around the coolers that were buried in the ground to keep food frozen for a 10 day fly in trip did both of them in.......they came too close a couple nights in a row. Mind you....they got the .308.......but the Model 12's let us sleep in comfort.
