Question for experienced hunters


What would be the bare minimal weapon you would feel comfortable would stop a charging brown bear? I ask because i get the feeling that a small calibre personal defence weapon will probably not help you much other than make the bear madder at you.

I own a few guns which include .357Mag, .44 Mag, and S&W 500 magnum. If I was limited to a handgun it would be a 500 magnum, but I would rather have a rifle chambered in 30-06 Springfield.

There is an old joke, a .22 is OK if you are with someone all you need to do is shoot them in the foot.

The most important thing is sincerity. If you can fake that you've got it made.
