    In a panic, your performance can drop by half and you may start spraying before the bear is in range. I suggest carrying multiple cans or prepare what to do after you empty the can and the bear is finally in range.

    Having tramped around Montana, I know when you hear a big bear snort at you from the bushes, you feel much better if you have a line of defense. These guys are fast, and easy to just injure and make madder if you think you are going to shoot a charging bear. But they cannot stand red pepper spray up their snouts and in their eyes. Some even slam on the brakes when they see the red can. Been sprayed before.

Any how, you won't regret buying it, I even sprayed inside the garbage can whenever raccoons messed with the garbage and so far it has deterred them, but I initially bought it for protection from humans or animals.

    Can these bear spray cannisters be safely stored like in a freezer?
    I'd like to know if either cold storage or non-frozen cold storage could help store them safely. The reason I ask this is that people I know who have used these have had them leak and get stuff in their cars and trunks from the cannisters minute discharge rate over time after it had been sitting. It also seems that you have a higher chance of the cannister leaking in higher heat, so this adds to the idea maybe cold storage would work better? (But is it OK to freeze them or just keep them below 50 degrees?)
    I hoped someone might have feedback on this.
    Thanks.

      Anyways, bear spray is just bigger and better pepper spray. Both use the same ingredients (capsaicin or related compounds). The biggest difference is that bear spray _is regulated by the EPA,_ which means you always know what's in the can and you always know that it's effective. This also means that concealable bear spray is impossible to find since EPA only allows large enough cans, but for home use this is fine.
      Edit: It's possible to find pepper sprays stronger than bear spray, maybe that's what the dude was talking about. Either way do you research before buying anything you're gonna be trusting your life to

      It can- to the effect that it permeates the air and causes respiratory effects however it wouldn't cause the effects on the eyes and the facial burning effects. That said - if someone has a gun and feels you are trying to disarm them - using pepper spray of any kind on them is grounds to shoot you dead.

    • @leslietaylor4458

      I think that would depend on the personality of the bear. In most cases (from videos I've seen) you can just talk/ scold a bear and it will walk off.. a loud noise may just make it attack just to stop the noise.
      I was in air force basic training and we had to do a gas mask training in a room with a minor pepper pellet released (no mist visible) and that was a horrific experience (and that was just a minor dose)

I was prepared yesterday, if that dog would had came on the road, i would had used it. One neighbor got his dog to attack me twice, first time, Animal control dropped the charges because I went outside in my own yard (to do exercises) which I always do. The second time the dog bit me much worse, the Animal control supervisor came out here asking me questions about a cousin. Then Tim Benoit said he could get access to the 911 phone call. Where did that 911 call go. But Everytime I go outside, these neighbors and the police pull something.

Can't they invent a deterrent which doesn't damage the animal's eyes?
