I'd take AK Mike's advice over mine since he's done the time. I was told a long time ago that about 90% of the reason you have a gun when you're fishing is to be a security blanket so you don't take off running. Having a reasonable defense helps make you calm so you can stand still or back up slowly or whatever you think is best instead of trying to outsprint a bear.
I personally carry a gun, but the bears really don't seem to care about you. They just keep on fishing. To my knowledge, the only 3 animals in North America that attack and eat people in a purposeful way are mountain lions, alligators, and polar bears. I used to think it was the first 2, but I just watched a documentary about polar bears hunting people and the people hunting back. IMHO the animal that scares me the most in the wild is a moose. |

I think so. I don't know much about them accept that they (scientists) were concerned because of melting glaciers blah blah blah that their ranges were closer and you'd see more of them. |

I know i've read about coyote/wolf hybrids in the states that are beginning to fill some of the niche's that wolves used to. Very interesting to see evolution in progress.

Guess I can't really spot the grizzly characteristics there. I'm sure there are, I just don't know what to look for vs a purebred polar bear....

Claws, facial structure, overall build and the 'dark' in the face. Look's more like a white Grizzly than a brown polar bear.

I havn't read this thread yet but i would stick to either the 44 mag, 454, or 50 smith and wesson on handguns. Anything else just isn't big enough.
I would personally bring a small lever gun in .45-70. |

I personally would just invite along MacGuyver and Chuck Norris as fishing buddies. MacGuyver to carry the paper clip that Chuck would kill the bear with.
