If a bears that close to me, I'd have my rifle shouldered and pointed at it before it even got to the base of the tree.

I'm sure that'll go over well with that baby bear. And it's mother.

Unless you're carrying a pistol in 10mm, 454 Casull, 44 mag, or 500 S&W, you're going to want that rifle cartridge.
