Here's an interesting story of a bear attack being stopped by a .45 colt yellow-boy last month.
I especially like the part about his wife now blowing a kiss to the rifle each night before the couple goes to bed.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I'd say he was pretty dang lucky .... the old hindsight being 20-20 comes to mind .... a .45 Long Colt is a very capable caliber but having hunted black bears, I'd want something a bit stronger
