I carried my pump shotgun in a leather scabbard I had attached to the outside of my Kelty external framed pack. I had replaced the standard stock with a pistol grip and with the 18 in barrel, it was not very noticeable but easy to access just by reaching over my shoulder when wearing it. The 22 pistol went inside. This was all part of my survival gear required by the state for pilots flying in the bush. In case of a survivalble crash, I wanted to be able to grab everything I needed in one container and get away from the airplane a ways. Having my religious moments, I also carried a couple of quarts of Christian Brothers brandy in the pack, just for medicinal reasons.
The shot gun I carried in the plane and sometimes when stream fly fishing and still have, is a Remington 870. When I bought the gun it had a 28 in modified choke barrel, then I got a 30 raised rib barrel for trap shooting, then got the 18 in improved cylinder barrel and pistol grip for carry purposes. I also have used it in law enforcement work. They are available used often times, very dependable and maintain a reasonable resale value. Also have an extended magazine for it .
I don't carry any these days on my trips to Alaska, but don't get out when the big critters live by myself anymore either. But every thing I read and hear about bear spray is positive for using it. You can buy it in Canada or Alaska.
