Here you go. .50BMG handgun, just in case the bear is wearing 2" armor plate. 647gr of whoopass traveling at 3000+fps.

And .50BMG as compared to .300winmag, .308win, 7.62X39, .223rem and .22LR

1. This gun would be used while fly fishing/hiking so no shotty's or rifles

3. One shot one kill potential would be nice, but at the same time I don't want a Desert Eagle or something that would be really hard to get a second shot off due to blow-back.



And before you chime in Icky, No. Throwing Knives aren't going to work.

when i went to anchorage... the guides up there all carried 870 pump shot guns with pistol grips and 8 round tube mags loaded with slug rounds... less money to buy and more power then a 44 mag. the few times that I saw a bear if you made a lot of noise they just went away.....

I'd just bribe him with the dollar.

Zeus is right, more pictures required. I'm the big goofy looking one. This is from 2006. If you're wondering about the pants, I slipped when I waded out to get this guy from under a snag, so I had to change to grubbies and the socks are thermal.



edit: sorry about pic quality- it's a scan :(

Gawdam that's ridiculous.

It's a Triploid.


Triploid - Genetically altered fish capable of growing much larger due to the inability to reproduce. Because it doesn't waste a large % of its energy on reproducing, it uses all of it to grow.

I like how one comment says because it's a triploid, it didn't take any skill hooking and landing it. Apparently that moron never landed anything bigger than a dead goldfish.

As if it would jump in the boat.
