I just got back from tent trailer camping at Meeks Bay, Lake Tahoe with my family. Brown Bears were a fairly common sight. Two out of five nights the wife and I saw a Brown Bear inside my campsite perimeter. One bear even pawed at my trailer door.
I had the 3 & 4 inch Ruger GP100s loaded with Federal 180 grain solids ready to go. I should have packed at least one of my 44 mags or a long gun. I took the GPs because I have several holsters for them. (I need holsters for my N-frames.) A .357 feels small when up against a 400(?) pound bear.
No one got hurt. However, other campers' food storage containers were raided!
Campers beware!
