"While walking with his dogs near his house in Soldotna, a snap of a twig prompted Greg Brush to glance over his shoulder."

"When he turned, he saw a bear charging full speed at him from less than 20 yards away. Backpedaling, Brush was able to fire his gun once or twice. It was enough. The bear dropped dead."

"'Came with zero warning,' Brush told the Anchorage Daily News ... 'No woof, no popping of the teeth, no standing up, nothing like what you think.'"

"Brush said the brown bear, which he estimated at more than 900 pounds, looked starved and probably saw him and his dogs as dinner."

"The fishing guide said he carries a pistol on walks because bears have chased his dogs before. He barely had time to shoot." ...

Strange his dogs didn't alert to the Bear, prior to him hearing the noise. I wonder what he was carrying?

I've thought a lot about this same situation(with ZERO Brown or Grizzly experience) and simply can't imagine me ever spraying a Large Bear like that with Pepper Spray that the Ultra-Leftist Radical-Liberal fools recommend. Can't even imagine it on the Black Bears I am familiar with. Sure glad to hear the good old dose of Lead worked for the guy.

Pepper spray = Cajun seasoning

He used a Ruger 454 Casull.

Thank You. Sounds like a fine Bear Blasting revolver to me. It seems he was mentally prepared and well armed for such a possibility.
