[QUOTE="Climber, post: 5447708, member: 17666"] I just went through this exact question as I spend a lot of time on the trails training and running. Four weeks ago I ran up on a sow with three cubs. Literally ran up on them when I rounded a corner and fortunately they were headed downhill and mom was in the lead. They scurried off and all was good but it got me thinking about how it could have turned out differently. Ive ran up on bears a fair amount of times but this situation got in my head because they were so close and I went and bought a Glock 10mm. I researched a bunch of options and landed on the G29 as my best lightweight option. Carry it in a Hill People Gear chest pack. Hard cast bullet is necessary and it’s fine if you clean it after practicing. There have only been two people killed by bears in TN since 2000 but I don’t plan on ever being #3! [/QUOTE]
