Yea, I carry bear spray as the initial response and it has been proven to work most of the time.
Failing bear spray, or when I run out of it, I have a Ruger .41 Magnum revolver ready for a more permanent solution. I fear being caught in the same position as a couple of hikers who used bear spray and ran out, only to find the bear came back to haunt them in the end.
Grizzlies, a sub-species of Brown Bear, are found in Montana and their range is increasing in the Western part of the state. I take bears seriously.
