Hell, you don't even need bear spray. Just get one of them there empty cans!

Just think how much BETTER those cans would work if they were solid, and lead, and aerodynamic, and ballistically stabilized, and launched by a small charge of chemical propellant!

He obviously had the wrong rifle if he was tracking a wounded elk.

Just for you:

Montana Grizzly Bear Notice:

In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear
conflicts, the Montana Department of Fish and Game
is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on
their clothing so as not to startle the bears that aren’t
expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry
pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a
bear.

It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear
activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference
between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop
is smaller and contains a lot of berry seeds and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper
spray.

Yep, my “bear spray” comes out of a S&W Model 29.

The thrown gun was more feared by Superman than the bullets. The former he always ducked to get out of the way from, the latter he would present his chest to and stand still while they bounced off.

The bear probably watched a few episodes, and was ready.

That would be littering and he sounds like an earth muffin. I read a book about bear attacks and one deadly account was in Glacier NP where a Japanese tourist decided to spray himself all over with bear spray repellent and that night the bear tore into his tent and killed him. Seasoned himself for the bear. True story .

I’ll try to do something to assuage my guilty conscience.

One more buttermilk pancake ought to do it

With extra butter.

Well if the hunter had been a vegan lesbian the bear would not have attacked...

Now all we need is a Hitler video where Hitler finds out that the pepper spray and bells sign is a joke.

This man was seriously injured. I don’t consider this a successful use of spray.

My thought exactly. It was a poor choice, he should have readied himself with the rifle instead of the bear spray.
