Bear Spray

[Justin (Raz) Rasmussen]

Just like Axe body spray, find one that fits your personality and use it "all over".

Y'all laugh. People do it every year

Is this an archery hunt or are you planning on carrying a rifle, pistol, and spray? If that's the case, just pick two. Rifle and spray would be my choice.

Rifle hunt. It was recommended to have side arm and bear spray

If they made a chest holster for rifles I’d say that comment holds weight.

Having a pistol or revolver on your chest at all times will help you out if a fury critter wants a hug while your rifle is leaning on the tree.

This thread is a reminder I need to discharge my old cans for practice.

Any holsters better than the other?

Will be in M/Yellowstone/Wyoming fishing next month and need something for a wader waist belt or AGC bino harness.

GunfightersINC will not disappoint.

There’s plenty of people with way more experience around aggressive grizzlies than me. I’ve yet to have a life threatening encounter, and I certainly hope to keep it that way.

With that said, in any situation where mere seconds matter, you should be pulling whatever you are most confident in effectively stopping the threat because that’s the only chance you’re getting to stop it. I don’t think you’re going to have time for both. If SHTF, it’s going to be “run what you brung”.

I carry two cans of bear spray when I'm in the woods where grizzly bears roam.
I can't express it enough, when in the bear woods keep your head on a swivel and all of your senses at 9-0.
I had a close call this past Spring, while I was hunting black bear next to the Canadian border. I was walking up this two track road heading to the border. I was hunting all by myself. I stopped for a moment to take a break; I was looking at these two large slash-piles. I was thinking this would make a good den for a bear.
The woods were very quiet, no wind moving as I could tell.
About this time, I heard a twig snap. I thought Oh Shit! This twig snap came from behind me, so I was turning around, about the time I got turned; I could hear what sounded like a very large animal getting up out of its bed. I heard a very load deep sounding growl. I stayed focused on the direction of the growl about now, I hear what sounded like large jaws snapping together with huffing. I estimated this noise was maybe 15-20 feet away from me. It was a very thick forest. (Jungle)
It's amazing how fast to check you innovatory of certain items. I had my Glock on a chest rig holster, bear spray just as close, with my rifle in my hand.
I pulled my bear spray out of its holster; it was ready to rock with my rifle in my other hand.
I just slowly backed up and out of that area and never did see this bear, that was okay by me at this time.
Just aways stay ready for any encounter, we just never know what may happen in the woods.

Take care.
