I'm partial to the old .444 Marlin myself.

i would say carry pepper spray and a firearm. best of both worlds.
but make sure that the "Bear" that is attacking you isn't followed by a camera crew for Discovery.

Yep....would agree. 12 ga slugger or .300 mag or anything from .41 Magnum up to the .500 S&W....depending upon how much you are willing to pack along on a hike. Use of 'bear bells' is a cheap & effective way to deter an encounter....our friends far up north use them on hikes.
