I'd be more worried about gettin shot than attacked by the bear. I had a personal friend who roped a Rino. He roped cats and all kinds of animals around the world he never roped a bear so I will feel those shoes for him. There are pictures all in his house of the things he roped.
He died at the age of 90. But I got to here alot of his stories.
The 30-30 is for putting you out of your misery Chance! Lol. Reminds me of that old Jerry Clowers story. You just might need the relief!
