A hunting trip to the remote wilderness of Alaska went awry for a group of deer hunters after they were attacked by a group of brown bears
They are starting to fight smarter.  I am going to guess the 68 year old man was the slowest of the hunters.  

I am not sure a big bore six gun is the right gun to carry for a mass bear attack.  At least they weren't also armored.

I am thinking a big bore lever action or semi-auto myself.  

If you happen to have one, maybe throwing a dead deer at them might help.

Against five bears, you need this...



...and the CAS to go with it, obviously.

Not sure how MILES gear will help.

When I was beating around in AK's bush I carried my .444 Marlin for bear.  Course you'd need to reload for 5 of them.

Frankly, if I get jumped by 5 brown bears that don't turn around after I start shooting, I'm probably bear poop.

I can imagine the ad for reality show on Discovery, "Bear Team 5, Hunters Beware".

Getting them to look for Bigfoot would be more entertaining....and more effective.

For a trip to that location I'd like to have my 870 Police magnum. 18 inch, parkerized with synthetic stock. Loaded with seven slugs. 

I'd still have to be very accurate to take on five bears though!
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Some days the dragon bear wins  =(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
