The county I'm in usually has the highest bear kill count for a reason, and if you spend a good deal of time in the woods you will run into them. I prefer to make a lot of noise and chase them off, but I've had a mama bear come at me and it took five .44 slugs, the grip of said .44, and a big stick to fend her off. Playing dead also doesn't work for black bears, they may just start eating on you. So if I am out in the woods there are times when I will have a .44 tucked in my jacket (I have a cross-body holster for it that is very comfortable).
damn dude. thats some serious shit. by 'fend her off' are you implying she survived and went about her day?
