[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1522831, member: 30671"] [URL]https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/amazon-bear-repellent-accident-this-week-wasnt-its-first[/URL] Everything has shortcomings-With spray it's range, displaced aerosol, and it's as time consuming to get in play, and it will drop those with reactive airways like a rock. Only reason in my mind to carry it is because it's illegal to have a firearm. Having seen a black bear get off the deck after being hit with a .375 H&H, I offer no 100% solutions. The 3 or 4 seconds it lived after that was the most impressive physical act I've seen from an animal. Fortunately he was headed the other direction. My partner .44 Magnum in hand, shot a smallish bear, bayed up by hounds, it decided the way out was over the top of him, dogs and all. Fortunately it was only escaping, and the only tracks left were muddy foot prints, and it died shortly after. My only advice is reach for protection, before reaching for your video phone, and set a generous deadline. More than you would an armed human. [/QUOTE]
