The bear was sprayed. A full can was used. Carl Mock was killed.

Big, mean and hungry are hard things to overcome.

Similarities. Received vaccine and a booster and still got Covid. But damn, no mask.

While bear spray helped curtail this attack,

It obviously did not.

Or is he a little less dead now?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Although the attack was fatal, the lead investigator, Hillary Cooley, is reported as characterizing the use of bear spray as helpful.

The victim would have been killed much deader if he hadn't used it.

Spraying them with lead from a 44 mag is the best plan.

How to tell black bear scat from grizzly scar:

Black bear scat is full of hair and berry seeds and smells kind of like dog poop.

Grizzly scat is full of bells and smells like pepper spray.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

You might as well use hair spray against a locomotive.

So, the heirs will get rich off the ineffective bear spray manufacturer.

Bear spray will NOT stop an angry , hungry bear whether its a grizzly or a black bear. Think about it. A thousand bee stings do not stop them from getting honey out of a hive.

Bear spray just makes a hungry bear even more ugly.Its a lefty ploy to give a sense of false safety. Carry a .44 mag pistol at minimum or a large caliber rifle such as .306, .308 or 45-70 .

The only alternative is knife, spear or gun. Ask Freeper Kanawa who stabbed a black bear to death with a 6 inch buck knife in order to save his dog:

Bear had COVID and lost its sense of smell?

[LastDayz]

“Mock was an accomplished woodsman and guide.”

Apparently not as he DID NOT go out loaded for bear.

[dfwgator]

He needed his anti-Sea Bear Circle.

[Caipirabob]

The bear enjoyed it that much. Bear Spray; The condiment of choice in the wilds.

RIP…

[Gay State Conservative]

Hell,I probably would have killed him too if he had sprayed bear spray at *me*!

[Vaquero]

If “ Mock was an accomplished woodsman and guide” he would have had a gun.

A .44 magnum with short barrel is easy to pack. Medium to large caliber rifles are good. A 12 gauge with sabot slugs are devastating at close range. A light short barreled pump is easy to sling and carry

Karelian Bear Dog will alert you far before you can see a bear - and then harass the bear while you prepare to shoot and seek cover.

[Roccus]

I never go into bear country alone.

I always carry a .22 pistol in bear country.

[TalBlack]

. Mock was an accomplished woodsman and guide. He did not have a firearm with him.

His call but I gotta ask WHY?
