I’ve been around, killed, treed, baited, harassed 100’s of black bears. Since this thread was about CO. I’m only speaking about black bears as I have no experience with Griz.

Every time I have seen a gun used to stop a attacking/charging black bear the bear has gotten to inflict his damage too. Bear spray has stopped them and they whirl in there tracks. For one you have a larger radius for a good hit than a bullet. In a tense quick situation is really hard to make perfect hits, where as bear spray you just have to be close. Anyways carry what you comfortable with and be able to get it quickly with black bears you will likely never need either. [/QUOTE]
