Those are legal? damn, nice gun.
I do not object to a revolver, I am just not sure why have both revolvers and pistols, surely one of the two is better?
Why is the desert eagle pussified? what is the difference between the .500 S&W and the .50 AE?
Not true. There are plenty of rounds that will take out a bear
i don't at all insist on a desert eagle, I am simply ignorant and misinformed.
What are some of the better and cheaper guns? what is better, revolver or pistol?
Yes, he was a messianic idiot, yes he caused his own death and the death of his girlfriend.
do you understand what the word "generally" means? Bears GENERALLY avoid humans, they GENERALLY don't eat humans... sometimes they do.
The thing is, you brought up self defense as a lead-in to the "bear whisperer," which is somewhat puzzling, since it makes it seem like you think he was in a self defense situation.
It's one thing to defend yourself against bears while minding your own business, but it's another thing entirely to be all up in a bear's business like he was. Poor example, IMO.
oh i see now. No i meant to give the bear whisperer as an example that even if you know bears well you can still get killed by one.
I obviously do not advocate seeking them out. If you see a bear, quietly walk away. But if a bear charges you, well, shoot to live.
.223 vs. Bear, what happens?
I think I recently saw a video of a man hunting and killing a brown bear with a bow and arrow.
I said in my post, 12ga with slugs. Preferably a mossberg or remington 870 with a large magazine capacity. Most Alaskan guides I have met prefer that for protection, with either a .44mag or higher revolver as a sidearm.
Though a couple of guys I know have started carrying glock 20's in 10mm auto, with buffalo bore or double tap ammo. Same ballistics as the .41 magnum, but with 15 rounds in a semi-auto handgun. I saw Ted Nugent on his hunting show drop a cape buffalo with his 10mm and buffalo bore ammo that charged him after a misplaced shot with his bow. That's what caused me to buy a 10mm for myself.
you hunt cape buffalo or other large animals alot?
really, just a 400 lb bear? that's not a very large bear at all... Grizzlies and polars can easily get well above 1000lbs...at that point I'd want something with plenty of stopping power.
I used to just walk out the back door and they'd run from me.I used to hunt bears in the jungle with a .223.
Never had a problem.
