A fantastic woods gun is the Ruger Super Redhawk "Alaskan" chambered in .454 Casull or .44 Magnum. Short barrel, easy to clear the holster, and can punch just about anything if they startle you and are very close. A guide friend of mine worked in Denali for a while, and he said he wouldn't use anything else. Revolvers are best tools for the woods IMO.
Totally agree, Ruger Redhawk/Super, is the King of revolvers in the calibers you mentioned. I hesitated to go into the arena of the .454 Casull because the recoil impulse starts to get more unmanageable at that point. He mentioned black bears in his post, but I didn't see anything about Kodiaks. 😊
I wouldn't recommend the Alaskan for squirrels either... nothing left but the feet! :)
Wait, you found the feet???
