[QUOTE="Speedo, post: 1054335, member: 27223"] Firearms and bear spray are in 2 different categories as far as bear encounters are concerned. Hunters (firearms users) tend to be quiet, so as to not spook animals, bear spray users tend to make bears aware that they are present in order to not have confrontations. Encounters by people carrying firearms tend to be closer than those carrying bear spray, this in and of itself makes it more likely that the person carrying the firearm is likely to have serious consequences. Twice I have had to go into heavy brush after wounded grizzlies, nobody in their right mind would think of doing this with a can of bear spray. So now I've set myself up to be in a situation where I could be added to the list against using a firearm vs. bear spray. I think the comparisons are apples (firearms) to oranges (bear spray). At least that is the way I see it. Gus [/QUOTE]
