Well, this is quite the thread. I think the plain and simple fact is that I'm not comfortable with Bergers while in Grizzly country. I have no such feelings with a 150 TSX, Partition or Accubond and will be loading those for next season. For the time-being I'll pack a can of spray as well when I'm in Grizz country.

My partners and I have encountered 4 grizzlies up close this season and the bears are definitely increasing in numbers and boldness. We only have a draw-system in BC for Grizzly hunts and the liberals seem to be getting their way more and more with reduced harvest quotas due to their concerns over "trophy hunts".
