    [QUOTE=.330 Dakota;1627817]I will guarantee you that the spray will turn him at a minimum,,,bears usually charge with their mouth wide open,,,spray will suck the oxygen out of them. I know one fellow that had a charging sow actually drop when hit with spray and it gave him enough time to vacate the area. Bear lived, He lived--win/win
    Old schoolers say shoot,,,spray does work Ive seen it,,,and its faster than a firearm. Good spray is effective to 25-30 feet,,[/QUOTE]

    I usually get much closer when seasoning my meat, then again it isn't trying to eat me LOL sorry couldn't resist

    Dr. Tom Smith has an interesting lecture here, especially his findings around the 40 min mark.

    308 is more than sufficient for big bear at close range. The Hungry Hill grizzly was apparently taken by CO's with a 308. 9' bear, 1000 lbs - *edit - apparently it was shot by 30-06/180gr Bear Claws & 338 Win Mag 225gr Partitions, see 2nd link

    when in a sub forum (Mainland, Van. Island, Guns & handloading, off topic etc) click on the button that says '+ Post New Thread' in the top left portion of the page

    Re: grizzly defence question

    Find the section you want to start the thread in, Mainland British Columbia for example, and scroll to the bottom of the first page in that section. In the lower left corner is the box titled "start new thread". Best rifle or bullet threads are frowned upon, just joking.

    sure it will, it will nicely season his kill.
