The Gun Alaska Guides Actually Carry (And Why You Shouldn't)

Alaska guides carry a magnum into brown bear country. The government's pick for the best gun for bear defense is a pump 12 gauge slug gun, and on bear spray vs gun, it says reach for the can first.
It starts on Afognak Island, where a .375 H&H at 20 feet still didn't stop a sow in time. Then the paper trail: the 1990 Geological Survey syllabus and its Remington 870s, Fish and Game calling the magnum myth "simply not true," the .45-70 Guide Gun, bear handguns, the studies behind the spray and gun numbers, and the Alaska law that hands the state your bear's hide.
