I have a can of bear spray. I use it when I walk my dog.
Got menaced up close and personal bout 3 months back down a lonely road by a massive pitbull that made my 100lb. german shepard look small.
The dog stood about 5 feet away from me. I pulled the can, shook it, sprayed, and the cone dissapated before it ever hit the dog. It missed. However, the spray action itself seemd to convince the dog to leave.
Lucky us.
If I go in the woods, I’m bringing my rifle and my .44 magnum.
That is all.
I got a .500 smith and wesson magnum that would drop any animal on earth. I guarantee it’s more effective than a can of bear spray. I plan on hunting bears with it in fact.
May I suggest FOX LABS spray? Carried by many LEOs. Never had a failure. Also had a wiff or three of it. Most unpleasant!
Who was the manufacturer of the bear spray you used?
Pit bulls don’t get over about 70 pounds.
However it is neat to call every scary dog a pit bull.
Your 100lb. german shepard might actually be a poodle.
