The reason there's so much debate is because none of us have had to defend against a brown bear. It's all speculation, even from those in AK. I think a large boar is built similar to a griz, they're both tough to put down, what I related had nothing to do with tactic.Vastly different animals, and Vastly different tactics
The funny thing for me is how people who's only experience with bears, let alone brown bear, is the TV or maybe the zoo as a kid, want to jump on people who live in bear country, work in bear country, and hunt in bear country.
So, Alaska guys, what type of pocket pistols do you use to pop feral hogs, I was thinking a .25 bauer behind the left ear, the trick is quickly side step and give them your walking stick on the charge to line up the shot......
about as silly, should we start talking out crocodile hunting, maybe even mountain lion...
What was your point anyway?
