Hello all,
Has anyone come into any encounters with bears while hunting grouse/partridge?
I'd be a liar if I said it doesn't cross my mind once or twice before heading down a trail in the bush.
We only hunt grouse using .410's, which I don't think would do much damage against a big bear.
What are your experiences with bears while hunting/walking in the bush and how can I better prepare myself should I ever encounter a bear?
Worrying about whether or not I'm going to be mauled by a bear sure takes the fun out of hunting!
