Yup.

I'm more of a fisherman than a hunter. Gotta admit, my interest stems from an incident where I was fishing on the Alaska Peninsula, a few miles south of Phil's operation. Up pops a bear on the shore right behind me as I'm wading. Just stood up. I smelled him before seeing him and turned around to see what the smell was about. Got the heck outta there. Later thinking that nothing short of a crew served weapon would have reduced the pucker factor.



Read about Phil's similar encounter while guiding fishermen and how he put a big one down with hard cast from his 9mm. Don't try that at home, as they say on TV... The best gun is the one you have in your hand at the time, maybe not the one you would have chosen, given the option.
