My woods gun is a S&W 329NG 6rds of 44 mag. Though with how light the 1895 trapper is in 45-70, I've considered toting that around while backpacking/fishing.My bear spray is a Glock 15 round 10mm loaded with Underwood Hardcast. That is probably the absolute bare minimum loading although I read about about a guide that killed a nasty Griz up there with a 9mm.
