[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 3094280, member: 1039"] I was up in Jackson, WY, visiting some photographer friends of mine a number of years ago. The only bears that I had encountered up to that point were the Mexican Black Bears in Big Bend National Park. Not much comparison there. So, I bought two big cans of bear spray. Why two and not three? My friend is a woman and the other photographer is a big ole Grizzly Adams looking dude and he said the same thing as Ken61 two posts up. We hiked back into some woods looking for an owl nest with fledglings on it so we could photograph them. It took about an hour to get there so not too far. On the way out we lagged behind Dan (bs'ing) and noticed that he had stopped. When we caught up with him he was standing next to a big pile of steaming bear scat. My friend looked at Dan and said, "I'll bet you wish you had bear spray now". He just looked at her and I laughed. I told Dan that if see a bear I'm going to toss her my can and run (wrong thing to do of course). He said I don't know. She can run pretty fast. I said yeah but as she runs past me I'll trip her and then throw her the can. We laughed, she... well... I can't type what she said here. [/QUOTE]
