Need more data-
Are the bears wearing body armor?
Single bears, or squads?
Normal bears, or zombie bears?
Have the dogs had their shots?
Are the snakes natives, or illegal immigrants?

This actually happened to me. I grabbed my go to concealment rig, my M44 Mosin Nagant loaded with 240 grn Gold Dots.
With the bayonet extended I was able to kill 254 snakes, 412 regular bears, 232 zombie bears, and a boxcar full of feral dogs....
By then I had to reload and used the rounds I had packed in my tactical boot concealment rig and walked out alive, with my MRE's and water purification kit, all packed neatly in my bug out trailer.

Why a Phase Pistol of course for close in work. If it can't get the job done then we move up to the Pulse Rifle.

you don't need a gun for that riffraff. I would just tie the snakes together to make snares to catch the wild dogs and use them as bear bait. And if you braid the snakeropes good and stout they would be just dandy for lynching the bears.
You've always heard snakes are beneficial. Now you know that they could even save your life!!

You people aren't taking this question seriously, which is not surprising, seeing as it is [yet another] trick question. The proper question is not "What gun to get now??". It is "What guns to get now??" Now any idiot could answer the question, if he hasn't already.

It's the man eating pigs that you have to worry about. They are smarter and larger than the dogs, and tend to be more aggressive and territorial. They're larger and more dangerous than bears.
Anyway, add in alligators, lots of biting things, and a strange swamp smell and welcome to the SouthEastern United States.
To which I just shrug. I'm from Michigan. Detroit and even Lansing were much worse.
Besides which, dog doesn't taste that bad at all and snake... is like a vaguely gamey sort of chicken.

Gator,
I've found if'n ya clean them snakes quick, like in right now,
while their still trying to twistin' around yer arm.
Ice or salt 'em down right soon, does away with that gamey flavor...
Just a ol' cow camp cook tip. ~Smiley~

Are you talking about " The man eating pigs" or "the man eating pigs". Big difference in weaponry -but I digest

Only one gun? I think I'd want my 620, with the right ammo it's a freaking rifle.
Two guns? My 620 plus a lever action Carbine, in 357 Magnum of course.
Three guns? Add a 22 caliber rifle with a decent scope to the mix, that would keep me in squirrels and rabbits for a good long time.

It's the Dread Cats you have to be on alert for.....specific DNA mutations cloned with remnant Saber Toothed Tiger DNA.....40# stealth battle cats, chip enhanced for precise voice command, titanium claws and 5" incisors, with a taste for the slow and dull witted tourist regardless of how they're armed....

The only way to survive this situation is to purchase something tactical, stoke it with handloaded cartridges at +P+ pressure levels and super heavy hard cast bullets.
Don't waste your money on a 44 Magnum or a 454 Casull, only the 44 Special or 45 Colt must be handloaded at +P+ levels to achieve the perfomance you need.
If you cannot afford the proper weapon, or don't handload then you must carry a bag of Cheetos and you car keys in a tactical quick draw rig. Practice tossing the Cheetos while drawing your keys every day until your fingers bleed.

6" Model 29-2. Good for everything from snakes to bears, with Jihadis, hold-up men and toothless "Deliverance" types in-between.

(Our friendly forum members excluded, of course. )
Just kidding, guys.

Yes, but I think I've waited long enough.

I appreciate resuscitating these necro-threads. Looking at the posters, some have passed, some haven't posted in 5 years or more, one is in prison for life. Man, time goes quick. Oh yeah, cluster bomb, we must have entire warehouses full, just hangin' around since the ban. Joe
