Biggest fools of the Bear Spray were those who, several years back, thought it was a bear repellent and sprayed themselves down with it.

Okay, that’s funnier than the bear scat containing bells and smelling of pepper.

I watched an episode of one of my favorite TV series “I Was Prey” on Animal Planet recently. The story of a hunter from CDA, Idaho bowhunting for elk in nearby Montana was chronicled. He was attacked by a charging grizzly, got pretty roughed up, drew his can of bear spray from its holster, and promptly sprayed himself directly in the face with it. His hunting partner finally got the bear to break off the attack by spraying the BEAR with his can of bear spray. The guy survived. So did the bear (unless it died from laughing).

Does bearspray work against hippies/antifa?

My view is just shoot the bear.
You can add spice to the bear afterward.

If it is the same incident I am thinking of, did they mention he drew bear spray instead of his pistol? Or that after he was sprayed, he drew his pistol, but missed the bear because he could not see?

There was no mention of a firearm.
