Wreckster84: Two years back now, come July, myself and two friends hiked high into the Pioneer Range of the Rocky Mountains to fish for a secret lakes large population of Grayling. We had along a Glock Model Model 23 in 40 S&W with high capacity magazine. And thankfully we did have that pistol along as just as we got to the lake a large boar Black Bear came sniffing around the lakes shoreline - right towars us! We retreated a bit and made our presence known and the Bear defiantly kept walking along the shoreline sniffing the beach - I assume for fish leftovers. Anyway the Glock Model 23 is relatively small and has a lot of firepower - also impervious to anything a long days fishing/hiking can dish out. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
