A .375 is pretty powerful. I have a .458 magnum and the kick is pretty bad.

I remember my friend in Alaska had two "brush guns" that he would alternate carrying when he thought bear would be a factor:
468 Weatherby and 505 Gibbs

I was going to fire them one day and reconsidered when my travelling companion was knocked down by the Gibbs on the first shot.

Thanks for inspiring the good memory!

"We never had to use them because we knew how to avoid the bears."

I'd be telling the bears your location if I knew it.
