Fred;
Ah that's gratifying indeed to hear.
We've got a dearth of Breneke slugs up here which from all reports is the best bear medicine. My personal camping pump gun contains a Canadian loaded Gualandi slug that seems to have good field reports.
It's much less simple for us to travel south with a camping arm unfortunately, but again one can either dwell on the negatives in life - or not - I'll choose not if its all the same.
Bear spray isn't grand inside a tent either Fred - that from some credible sources who had a grizzly jump on their tent while sheep hunting near Radium a few years back.
It's always a pleasure conversing with you sir.
Dwayne
