[QUOTE="hidesert, post: 1237069, member: 97550"] A very important thing to contemplate while discussing alternatives for bear defense is this: in order to "stop" a bear with with a bullet you are going to have to hit his Central Nervous System (Brain or spinal cord) which is an exceedingly small target well disguised with fur and fat and well protected by muscle and bone. Your chances of doing this are very small. It happens so quick and you are likely to be in shock and awe mode (on the receiving end!). Now your chances of placing an eventually fatal wound are much greater but the bear will have plenty of time before his or her demise to chew and claw you to mincemeat. But in your last moments at least you will know "you got that sucker too". [/QUOTE]
