If I am dealing with brown bears, or white bears??? Nothing smaller than a .44 magnum. PERIOD. I got to see a decent size grizzly pick up a horse carcass and drag it some odd 30 yards to a log pile to stash it.
Yes, a horse. A full grown horse. Grabbed it by the neck, lifted up a bit and walked off with it like a cat carrying a rabbit. All you could hear is wood being turned as the bear half buried the horse. I do not believe the bear killed the horse, but it left no doubt in my mind as to the sheer strength of a brown bear. And, the sheer size. A grizzly is Huckin' Fuge!

Who said OP was joking, I did not see an LOL or a smiley suggesting any humor. I will not be hiking with this person ever. And if I were too I would surley let them lead the way.
