I’ve had a few encounters here in Montana, both black and grizzly, but they always run off when we make a lot of noise. Folks I know who were attacked always happens when they surprise a sow with cubs.

I recentlly got a “Bear Banger” gizmo. Haven’t tried it but looks like it would do the trick.

Lol, I carry the spray, a air horn screwed to a pressure can, a 50 caliber S & W and a Remington 870 loaded with magnum triple ought buckshot.

Google “Ken Cates bear attack”. He was an Alaska native and great woodsman for a couple decades. He had the wrong caliber and was 5 feet away from it when the fight started. He lost.

So, “preparation” and “alertness” are the key I think. But, when asleep on the Yukon river bank that’s hard to do.

I checked Amazon for information. While they do sell them, there are no reviews. Why is that?
