There was a photo going around years ago showing (what was left) of
a guy who was killed by a bear, but not before he emptied a .38
revolver into the bear. It was pretty gruesome, the bear ripped
him open and ate all his organs (but, surprisingly, left his junk).
Rangers killed the bear and verified it was the culprit from stomach
contents.<br>
<br>
So, if bears are a worry something more substantial than a .38
(dunno if it was a 'special') is called-for.<br>

<div dir="ltr">That's probably because in order to catch rabies
from a bear bite, you 'd have to survive the bear attack.
Survival rate from a bear attack seems to vary, but it's not
very good. Bear attacks are pretty rare in and of themselves
(chances are about 1 in 2ish million), plus there have been less
than half a dozen cases of rabies in bears in the last 20
years.
