If youd like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.
I'd agree with his intent to carry a larger caliber.

ping. The Colburn pack has been long identified.

You really need bullets that explosively come apart, shred or petal out a large wound channel, animals like dogs, wolves or any game animal are very hard to kill with just one shot, especially with a small caliber solid projectile at a modest velocity.
Big velocity or big bullet.

Thank goodness he learned that lesson. A .380 is a pretty puny round to be carrying as your defensive sidearm in the woods.
To: Don Corleone
Yeah, because everybody knows wolves always keep clear of humans and never attack them.

The time he spent chambering a round (racking the slide) could have been spent shooting his attacker.

Color me skeptical. This story reads like a Jack London knockoff.

Good story. But this is 2015. So of course I’ve got to ask, how many federal, state, and local violations will he be charged with?

He might consider the 10mm ...

I'm a .357 man myself but a 10 mil would be a fine option also.
To: circlecity
Why would you have FMJ in a gun you plan to use for self defense?
Maybe he was planning to do a little target shooting during his scouting trip.

The time he spent chambering a round (racking the slide) could have been spent shooting his attacker. Agree completely. Though I carry both, in my unprofessional opinion anyone with a semi auto uncomfortable with a round in the chamber should probably opt for a revolver. Things happen fast.

A .380 is awfully small for going into the woods. He’s lucky the single shot and sound scared the wolves away.

Big velocity or big bullet. Yes, but I'd rather have a loud smaller caliber FMJ with me than a mondo-mushroom hand cannon that gets left at home because it's too heavy to carry on such a nice day.
Like it or not, the under powered .380 pea shooter saved his life that day, and taught three wolves that people are to be avoided.

Thank goodness he learned that lesson. A .380 is a pretty puny round to be carrying as your defensive sidearm in the woods. Agree, a few black bear in the general area as well. I usually carry a 357 though an incident like this, three attacking simultaneously, I magazine capacity could be an issue. My guess he wasn't carrying this with four legged wolves on his mind.
