Not that I neeeeed one here in Utah, bears are the excuse I am giving wifey for buying the .460 S&W, it works so much better than "I want because".
Truth be told, having lived in so many places where I've been warned about the bears and I've never even seen one outside of Yellowstone NP and I don't figure those even count as a wild bear sighting. I just want a new hand cannon to play with.

OH, I think THEY count..ask the relatives of those that were mauled and killed last spring...
I consider myself lucky any time I get to see one however, whether in YNP or anywhere else--pretty amazing animals...as will all wild animals, their strength is incredible..never forget watching a documentary once of a griz in the wild picking up an entire caribou with one arm and lifting it up over about a 3ft embankment..amazing..
