to throw a slight curve ball regarding 'undergunned' bear hunting, I remember some 40 years back there was much written about going after a bear - I think even Grizzly was mentioned - with a .44 Mag.
As I had just got a Mod 29 with a 8 3/8" barrel and was young and stupid, I thought that would be great fun and something that a 'man' should have done in his life, I seriously tried for several years to get an invite or otherwise get at a bear with the .44!
Luckily it never worked out!
Has anyone ever actually shot at a bear(Grizzly or otherwise) with a .44 Mag and survived it?
Not trying to steal the thread - just something that came back to me while reading this thread through.
Happy New Year to everyone
