.44 mag with buffalo bore meplats or corbon meplats heavier the grain THE BETTER!


and if ya have a rifle................well .338 win mag or bigger. my fave is my 1895GS built to the hilt by nelson ford(thegunsmith.com) 45.70 with 500-525 gr bullets. once again meplat design.


man we have talked about this alot here. and alot of people with more bucks than brains think buying a .500 smith is the answer. well it aint and if ya think im a dumazz, go look at YOUTUBE.com and punch in .500 smith and wesson and watch the BOOFOONARY!


in jellystone park last august i carried my smith model 29 nickel 4" barrel .44 mag with buffalo bores(meplats) on a cross chest draw anywhere and everywhere i went with my 45/70 or socom M1-A ALWAYS WITHIN DAMN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ME aka either on the ground or leaning against a tree very close to me or in truck or camper shell.


while i was sitting in front of "ol faithful" at damn near the exact time we were sitting watching the geyser not 1.5 miles north of a gazzillion people a guy got munched on DEAD by a grizz.


you are now allowed to carry a weapon in a national park and if you have a CCW carry concealed also.


i can guuurranteee.................if ya carry open you will have more people staring at you than if you were naked ! fishing pretty much everyone carries open obviously.


on the madison river and the upper yellowstone where the trout fishing is pure nirvana......................YOU WILL SEE / ENCOUNTER BEARS! and thats a FACT!


yer ONLY going to get off a few shots if taken by surprise if just one shot. thats why i went with a PURPOSE BUILT 4" barrel magnaported with trigger work and a cross chest draw holster with spare speedloader pouches.

i can also GUURRRAAANNNTEEEEEE that shooting buffalo bore and corbon heavy grain bullet rds will make ya see GAWD IN FREEKING TECHNICOLOR due to recoil. so with that in mind.............go shot a .460/.480 or even big daddy .500 and see how many times you can shoot those damn things without it jumping out of yer hand....................and by then...................YER GONNA BE BEAR POO!
