Jerry, I thought my 35 Whelen was overkill for caribou, but for three bears just a few feet away it seemed pretty pathetic. I wish I had a 400 Whelen that night. whelennut
I can pretty well guarantee you that it would still have felt too small ! Unexpected Bears in the dark have that effect on people .
Nothing helps the movement of a morning constitution quite like waking up and finding grizz tracks down a streambed, circled around your tent, and then on down the streambed.....
