[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2301196, member: 4191"] Bullets over hot pepper sauce any day. Dead serious bears aren't typically gonna give a guy time to use both pepper spray and a firearm. Often there's not enough time to use either one before the bear takes you down. I've seen upset bears react so quickly, a guy couldn't respond unless his finger was already on the trigger. So better plan on using one, or the other (spray versus bullet). Less serious, what I refer to as pussycat bears, will give you plenty of time to react. But those attacks are often bluff behaviors. And a guy will typically walk away from those without bear spray or a firearm. And then there's the Timothy Treadwell predatory bears, that casually walk up, take you down, and begin feeding on you while you're still alive. Like a cat playing with a mouse. Dead bears don't hurt anyone. Nothing but bullets for me. Never bought a can of bear spray in my life. Never will... for better, or for worse. Pick your medicine, and live or die by it. [/QUOTE]
