[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1058109, member: 30671"] A lot of variables on the bear side of the equation. Age, gender, intent, time of year, and individual personality, or mood of the bear. There are a couple of video's showing bears turned by muzzle blast alone. A recent one (Eastman's I think) A sow with cubs charges the raft, and a round in the water turns her. Cubs had already cleared the area so her job was complete. An old boar, recently beat up, hungry, desperate for calories pre-hibernation, in a do or die predatory attack-is a different animal, and you better kill it. Banging on pots and pans, may work one day not another. An attack like Treadwell experienced lasted awhile. A bear shot, but not stopped, may bleed out enough to take a dirt nap before killing you, or someone else in the party. Personally, if the situation permits, my threat zone starts farther out than spray is good for. [/QUOTE]
