[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 3093723, member: 90397"] I used a can of bear spray once to try and get a badger to leave his den next to my buried propane tank. It didn't leave until after I did and it's only reaction was hot footing it because it didn't like it on it's feet. It returned shortly. Ended up using mothballs to get it to leave. The experience did not boost my confidence in spray even though I saw a news article out of Missoula in the last couple years about a couple hikers who successfully used spray against a charging grizzly. One guy was armed and never had a chance to draw but his buddy managed to deploy the spray quick enough to stop the charge against his friend. Neighbor had 4 griz, sow and 1 year cubs, in their yard yesterday morning. Most locals carry firearms but some of the women who go for walks have opted for spray. For those not willing or able to use firearms, the spray probably gives better odds than liberal tears. [/QUOTE]
