Re: Do you carry bear spray when hunting?
Pepper spray is at least 5x as strong as bear spray.
Here are a couple of videos where spray failed or had little effect.
1)Protesters were sprayed at a very close distance.

2)Never bring bear spray to a bong fight

Gary Shelton says that guns are almost 100% effective in stopping a charging grizzly. Remember that the grizz can run over 50 fps.
Judging from many grizz maulings over the years & some deaths even when the bear was fully sprayed speaks for itself about the efficacy of bear spray.
There are also many examples where the spray failed & the gun saved the day!
Shoot & kill or spray & pray. You be the judge!
