After downing moose we usually have one guy stand guard while the other guy dresses the animal. Unfortunatly bears think that gunshots are dinner bells. Black bears are no big deal IMO, it's grizzly's that I'm concerened about.
In Canada you can't carry a hand gun while in the bush, so a big can of bear spray and a rifle is all you can carry. A shotgun with 00 followed buy slugs is a good way to go.
If hiking, make loud noises while paying attention to surrounding sounds is what I do.
