We always carried a 12 gauge with shot in it for protection. If we were swamping new roads we alway brought the dogs for look out and warning.
With a large bear a high powered rifle can be false protection. If he puts his head down and comes at you there is little to shoot at. Friends that have taken head shots and do to the skull thickness and low angle of the skull they had it graze off without the bear loosing a step. This could also be a problem with the 2 legged intruders you are talking about. The muscle on the chest of a bear is hard to penetrate and without a clean shot will not necessarily stop him.
With the shot you could always stop him if he got to close and make a lot of noise if he was at a distance.
It is best not to attract the bear, but it is sometimes difficult to determine what will attract them. I have spent days playing hide and seek with my chainsaw oil and gas. Trying to find a location that they won't sniff it out and eat the oil. Just say no to bacon!!!
