[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2570260, member: 123662"] Bear spray is fine, but, if you have a rifle, I’d grab it first. There is zero time to get your rifle if the bear spray doesn’t work. And sometimes, it doesn’t. Bear spray has its time and place. When you can’t legally carry a gun, or people who aren’t proficient with a gun. Two thoughts (I’m calling it a “he” even though a sow w cubs is likely more dangerous) 1. If you are within Bear spray range, you are in trouble with a Grizzly. He can be on you in about 1-2 seconds at that range. Deal with the legal ramifications of defending your life if it comes down to it. 2. Warning shots often work. A Grizzly at 50-75 yards is a danger, especially if he exhibits signs of aggression. He can close that distance surprisingly fast. A shot into the ground before a charge is a very reasonable option, given sufficient distance to allow time to rechamber and prepare for the charge. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
