I hate bears.
There’s a sow with 3 brats lurking around my place right now and every time I come home to my dark dirt lane, I worry I’ll get out of the car and accidentally end up between her and her spawn.
Seriously ...

Another good resource is Wes Larson, bear biologist & considered an expert. He has the Tooth & Claw podcast. When he talks about using bear spray, he describes what the guy in the video does. He’s discussed bear safety many times on his podcast & in interviews on other podcasts.
Same. I live in a residential neighborhood, but there is a sow and 2 cubs (fairly large now) that walk through my backyard at dusk and screw around with stuff. Caught them on my yard camera last couple nights now.
A Magnum Revolver would be a Helpful.
She probably worries about it, too. 😃
