Seems to me that would really ****-off a bear.


I sprayed a big black bear with a whole can I smuggled
into Canada. She shook her head, glanced at me, then
went right on to the food pack where she plucked Kipper's
dog food off the top and proceeded to chow down.

This was at a campsite in the Quetico near an entry point
so it's likely she'd been sprayed more than once before
and just considered it part of the pre-meal routine.

The Park Service recommends you carry bear spray in
Yellowstone grizzly country but I don't bother. Vigilance
and common sense are better than bear spray in my opinion.
