During hunting season or its just my choice of carry in the wilds my redhawk with my 1400fps of my 44 magnum reloads should stop anything.
Or
My 357 snubbie when the family is with me out of sight so no one gets nervious. I don't want to upset my kids.

I just purchased some Cor-Non ammo in 44 mag 300grs. & in 45 long colt also in 300grs too. I have some 41 mag in cor bon ammo too.

I have tracks bigger than my size 12 sorrel insulated boots about five minutes from my camp in the pines. I think there bear but I been told that bear paws don't get that big. I couldn't make out the tracks that we'll in the fresh falling light snow. But there longer and wider than my boots were. There is one way into these buttons and one way out. These tracks aren't found outside the bottom. So it's not an nba player hunting.
