[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1062563, member: 11717"] I found this article while looking for another story. Not looking for a debate here... just saying. When I'm hunting and I've got my rifle I don't carry spray or a handgun. I've reconsidered though for the dressing, quartering and packing phase of the hunt. A can of spray on the hip is a lot more handy than a rifle leaning against the tree while you're dressing your game. In these parts, bears have been know to come to the sound of gun fire during the hunting season to feed on gut piles. I also always have one in the chamber unless I'm climbing over deadfall or some other precarious situation. This almost always happens if you play dead when a bear attacks you being territorial. That is why I say please do not start spraying lead in my direction if a bear is on top of me thank you. If the bear is being predatory, that's another matter. In any case, the bear will eventually turn its attention toward you and leave me behind. That's when you can start shooting. [/QUOTE]
