[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2044303, member: 103947"] I don't think anyone has to have had any experience with a bear to prepare themselves for an encounter. In fact, it's the idiot that hasn't had an encounter with one yet but spends time in bear country and doesn't prepare for it. Like saying why carry concealed if you've never been mugged, robbed, attacked or car jacked ? Pretty ignorant. I hope it doesn't take a bear charge, attack or worse for someone to prepare by gunning up with a sidearm when in bear country. I hear alot of people mocking bear spray but it kept a sow from making it up my tree when bow hunting bears one year. Cubs got scared and she got my wind and up my tree she came. Two shot of bear spray turned her around. I had a sidearm but didn't need it. Nothing wrong with the less lethal option. It's a 15 second encounter that I can't explain and never want to happen again. Couldn't imagine a face to face encounter with a Brown/Grizzly bear. Train for that moment even if it never happens.
