Why would a hunter who is carrying a gun rely on bear spray?

Who said that?

You are incorrect when you say bear spray won’t stop a charging bear. Man up to your mistake and move on already.

Or keep spreading misinformation. You won’t be the only one here doing that.

Bear Spray plays an important part in reducing attacks during human encounters with bears. It is an effective deterrent of North American bears, but it can be adversely affected by wind, rain, temperature, and even how close the bear is when it charges.

But, what would they know. Please, please, please - by all means - go camping in the mountains with a case of this stuff. Leave the guns at home. But, please go by yourself - don't take your kids, grandkids or cousins. It's entirely up to you.
