And to answer the question.. I have a 338-06. When I decided to get a big gun we bought a 458 Win. Got a good deal on it and its not bad to shoot. Wife is small, and she will shoot it though full on 500s are not her favorite.

There are lots of good choices and folks make their own decisions, and they all work.

One of the last combos I would choose. There are more piss poor choices for bear protection, but not many.


Yeah genius...what is your profound knowledge of bears, let alone Wilderness? Betting you haven't been off your couch in years..........if ever.

You made a very bad choice for someone to call out... He might have actually used a handgun on a charging Kodiak bear... and may just have tremendous time in seriously wild country.

And I will say he is widely respected...

And I agree with his comments.


While I've not had to shoot any charging bears, I have spent a fair amount of time(going on 34 years) working/hunting/fishing/camping in just about every corner of Alaska. To include "going out to pack game". But, it looks like there's a new sheriff in Alaska, so I'll defer to his vast knowledge and experience. smile

I thought there was an incident at Uganik Lake?


That was Little River Lake, and was a hunting pard, with a .30-06.

Okay, I was only about 10 miles away! wink

And a detail or two short! That only could have happened while riding a LazyBoy!

Last brown bear I killed in Uganik upset a whole plate of petit fours... left a stain on the carpet even... at least no champagne was spilled.

Probably not. What you have found is a manuscript of the ancient “bird” language! It is identified by the “bird tracks” (these >>>) imprinted in all the rest of the bird crap...

Did it require a shot afterwards? Sounds painful.

When I was on a Bristol Bay salmon boat for ten summers growing up we had Dad's old .410 pump with slugs for "nuisance" wildlife (those would be animals in the water only, we never seemed to touch land). That counts as a big bore right? smile

It was a little tough to be accurate with, as he had bent the barrel a little on it when he wrecked his bike with it slung over his shoulder at approx age 10. smile

Depends on who is initiating said "contact". If Grizzly initiated, I'd say grizzly contact is way over rated.

Big bores are actually more often put into action fishing rather than hunting. I always have a 375 or 458 when packing loads of fish through the brush.
