Having gone into tight cover following a wounded bear without a hot chamber... and surviving it more than once... I find some of the "I can't do it" crowd far beyond amusing.
that has to be the dumbest thing i ever [bleep] heard, you would rather take your chances with a wounded bear than trust your own ability..give it up..
Looking forward to how you would do it differently. (Advice from those who've not been there is always fun. I live considerably closer to SD than you apparently do, but I hardly feel like I'm in a position to second guess what he does.)
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
