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.
I’d prefer a Mossberg pump loaded with slugs.
Wouldn’t do much good because where they hang out is black as the gates of Hell and my security lights don’t go that far.
I’d never see them until it was too late.
Until they go away, prayer and hyper vigilance is all I have.
I’m having to park my car in fenced and locked field instead of the lane so they don’t tear it apart looking for food.
There’s a reason settlers took out apex predators.
We’ve had bears kill horses a mile from me.
Liberal Maryland Karens don’t want “ Smokey” even mildly inconvenienced.
People FEED them here
Hillbillies aren’t that stupid.
I’m not a happy camper right now.
I been in bear cou8ntry my whole life been hunting and killing bears for over 50 years.
I just killed one Tuesday in season with a lic.
I have been trained with spray and one never recommends it for use with out a firearm back up against a armed opponent.
Bears are always armed and are faster and strong then almost any human.
The reason to use spray is if one is worried about harming the bear.
Other wise learn and use a good firearm you have much better chance of survival then with spray.
The bear doesn’t to bad so sad.
Wes Larson can pound sand with is piss poor advice;
