I'd rather have a large caliber scoped rifle than a shotgun. With the proper lubricants the weapon should function fine in cold temps.

There might be some logical reasons for choosing the shotgun over a high powered rifle. I don't know what they are, but can guess that might have something to do with what firearms are legal in the country they are starting from. Shotguns tend to be legal in more countries and more politically correct, as well.

They also might be intending to scare the bear off, rather than actually kill it. And finally, with a shotgun, a less experienced shooter probably has a better chance at actually hitting something, especially at close range, compared to a scoped rifle. Also less chance of injuring the expedition partners if the bear gets in between two vehicles.

Fortunately, the few bear I've actually ran across were small and more scared of me than I of it. Except for one. Luckly, I was close to the vehicle with that one.

Here is a page with links to download different versions of the show
--- it was broadcast in 1080p which is the Super High Definition format and it looks amazing.
So for those of you that have enough computer power, a 1080p display, and enough time and space to download a 7gb file, enjoy.
For those of you with normal HD (720p) or just watching it on a computer there are 2 other versions that are much smaller.
Good luck -- it's a great show.
