My daughter is studying arctic marine mammals in Alaska (lives in Fairbanks) and carries a Henry Mare's Leg in 44 mag along with a Ruger redhawk in the same caliber. In 3 years she says she has only had to fire at a bear once, even though there have been about a dozen encounters that got a little sketchy. Most of the time even the largest Kodiak can be chased off with loud screaming and throwing things.
She wounded the bear and the local natives tracked it down and finished it off..
