Bear Spray Failure

No guarantees with either bear spray or bullets when dealing with enraged bears.
However, I think the odds are with mechanical incapacitation due to high-velocity metal rather than aerosols.:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

In 2000 I was doing some mining with a small group from the Gold Prospectors of America just north of Nome, AK. We were told grizzly bears could be a problem so each of us carried pump or semi-auto 12 gauge shotguns loaded with slugs when traveling between mining sites. Never saw a bear but the signs were there. At the main camp, a fellow who had been out alone came in & related he had been chased on his ATV by a grizzly sow after he surprised her on the trail. He was suffering from severe pucker factor! Pepper spray was available but most preferred carrying firearms.I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.

I carry a rifle, pistol and bear spray. I always keep my head on a swivel when in Grizzly country which is basicaly everywhere in Montana today. Don't ever take Grizzly attacks lightly. Warning, very graphic.https://americanshootingjournal.com/...ut-loses-face/
