I've come across black bears when bumming about the woods...
As of yet , I get a great view of their rump when they notice me and run off.
I am "bear aware" so to speak when out in the woodline ... but I am more worried about some scruffy two legged critters I have seen in the woods , than any wildlife.
Keep a clean camp , pay attention to what is going on around you and you should be fine.
As to a handgun ....
I prefer a 1911 in .45 acp or some sort of revolver in .357 , 44 special or .45 Colt.
