I think my second cousin's wife's brother's nephew once removed. I think that's right.

Just my 2-cents.

I think a rubber round would just make a POSSIBLY bad situation MUCH worse...Shoot SLUGS and don't miss!

Were it to become necessary to break this agreement, I would seriously consider the Marlin 1895G in .45-70. I've done a lot of cowboy action shooting, so working a lever-action is second nature to me.

I think the marlin 1895 SBL would be the one. Stainless with a SIX round magazine!

Make sure and take a bear awareness class. They only last about an hour and are free through the Park Service and normally Fish and Game. Just be aware that "light and manageable, and strong enough to hurt a Kodiak bear" do not coincide. Good luck on your job and enjoy the beauty of Kodiak.

If one is gunna use rubber slugs, they should probably carry a big stick to whack it and yell "bad bear!" when it get close....

You might want to drag one of these along with you. I'd loan you mine but we have fearsome bunnies around here. They went through 4 Indiana bunnies making Monty Python and The Holy Grail. See? Fearsome.
