The majority of guides in wyoming carry bear spray and a sidearm. They carry the spray mostly because the forest service/game wardens frown upon shooting their beloved grizzlies, however everyone of them will tell you they are going to grab the gun before the spray, then spray the bear after he is dead so he can tell the officer it wasn't working so he had to use lethal force.

 I'm not much of a side arm guy but I am a taxidermist. I say bigger the better. Most animals I skin out that have been shot in the head as a insurance round the slug is usually sitting right under the skin, doesn't penetrate the skull. Not sure what caliber these were but just saying you need a heavy round to get through that thick skull.
We give your trophy that final compliment!
