I have a right to spray armed bears!..............

Chris Servheen, a Missoula-based bear biologist is not happy.

If you are alone, you must have a firearm.

If you are in a group, pepper spray the bear, and while he is temporarily blinded hand the spray can to someone else in the group.

"Do not forget your little brass bells..."

That's right. It's always good to announce dinner's arrived. I'm sure the bear appreciates the diversity of cuisine in a pot luck that includes hot and spicy.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The bears just might LIKE spicy hot man meat.

diff between brown bear and grizzly...it’s in the droppings

brown bear...twigs, berries,fish scales,bee remains..

grizz...twigs,berries,fish scales,pepper spray cans,whistles,sneakers,sunglasses,maps of bear locations for liberals and greenies

they should be taken off the endangered species list and hunted to make them afraid of people.

These Yogi's are a lot smarter than some give credit for. A new problem is that bears are adapting to hunters by stalking them to either get the leftovers from their kills or even stealing the kills outright. There have also been human encounters during these circumstances.

Know how to tell if bear scat is from a griz?

It smells like pepper spray, has tiny bells in it and it’s full of human bone chips and hair...

[Col Freeper]

LOL, I can see it now .......

Man (spraying Bear): Come on, make my day. I’ve got a super-sized can of “Kick Some Grizzly Butt!” pepper spray just for you!”

Bear (killing Man): “Ummm, nice of this creature to bring along some pepper. They always taste better with some seasoning. After I’m done killin’ it, I’ll drag its body over to the salt-lick, and have my meal with a full set of condiments.”

Can someone tell me if this situation could be resolved by pepper spray.

Against grizzlies, nuclear hand grenades are in order.

“The spray is better than nothing, but I’ll choose a firearm every time.”

My experience with charging grizzlies is that throwing fish at them from a tree just makes them madder...I refuse to contemplate what annoying them with perfume would provoke.

True, the 45/70 will take down a bear, but anything greater than a 30.06 is good for bear. .300 Win Mags are a good bet, as are .375 and a good slug shotgun.

Of course, a strong backup is a good idea too, preferably someone you trust standing behind you to finish the deal if need be.

If a .375 can topple a Cape Buffalo, it can take out a grizz with no problems.

Grizz meat is good too.

I have been told that a 12 gauge with #4 shot works well at close range.

Lightweights! Wrestle em’ down with bare hands.

[Age of Reason]

How about a bullet filled with pepper spray?

Or a gun that squirts pepper spray and shoots a bullet at the same time?

[G Larry]

Love that joke.
How do you tell if it’s Grizzly poop?
If it’s got a spray bottle and bells in it!

The success in either spray or gun is determined by your application speed vs. the bears closing speed.
The gun is effective for a longer moment.
