[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1236499, member: 2736"] Like everyone else, I have an opinion on the difference between the Two. First, from the bears perspective. If I were a bear and had my choice of things to be shot with, I would choose the Spray every time. It is not lethal, It will only hurt for a while and if I can I will take out my revenge on the person that sprayed me because I have plenty of time to do so. From the persons perspective. I want something that will end the bears ability to wage war on me and be fatal for the bear, so that even if he doesn't die immediately at least it will happen soon and the mauling will stop at some point. I have never heard of bear spray killing a bear but a bullet will. I know a can of spray weighs less than a pistol, shotgun or a rifle but to me carrying 5 to 10 pounds is worth the extra weight in case something bad happens. while Bow hunting I have encountered bears and have had to draw my pistol more than once. fortunately, I have never had to use it but I felt that I has some say in my treatment, and stood my ground. (This may have been a deciding factor in there decision to retreat). If a person choses to not carry a weapon, that is his/her choice. but the consequences of this decision is also theirs. Just My opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
