[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1485051, member: 4191"] Dear BigGrizz, 1) You could have clarified your bear spray advice was for folks that hunt archery in locations where firearms aren't allowed. The I'd have said find another place to archery hunt. If I couldn't take a firearm during archery season where I hunt, I wouldn't hunt archery season. The bear where I live and hunt don't respect archery season hunters more so than rifle season hunters. 2) I don't do euphemisms 3) That's just one of your problems. Too sure of yourself. The Alaskans I know pack firearms, so I don't know any of the poor souls you're so sure wished for bear spray after the fact. 4) I've interacted with lots of bears that were not threatening. More non-threatening than threatening. Most run like they're more afraid of me than I am of them. I'd have to guess you irritate them. I've got a good idea why. They feel threatened because you're ranker than they are themselves. After you get the right flavor of bear spray figured out, let the rest of us know? Spare the euphemism... You're a tough one to follow even without the extraneous nonsense. [/QUOTE]
