I just read a story about a hiker that was mauled by a grizzly in Yellowstone Nation park near bakers hole campground. He under went surgery for multiple wounds and was due for more surgery but he suffer a heat attack and did not survive. He was in possession of bear spray but it was unclear if he was able to use it. The bear was killed when it came at several rangers. they found a moose carcass a shot distance from where the bear was killed. These things will happen, just always be aware of things around you when you are in the wild.
 
Bad bears near a kill happen, So sorry for the families loss but that stuff is real and will happen again. Nothing more than was done in getting rid of the bear and being vigilent. So sad but it sounds like the victim knew the risks from his experience...
 
Bear spray to a bear is what Frank’s or tapatio is to me. Just a little kick of flavor
 
Why bother with bear spray, it seems like these attacks can happen so quick you might not have time to pull your handgun if bear spray fails. I know I wouldn’t take that gamble.

some thing is better than nothing, while I don't like hiking in national parks for this reason. there many guides and hunters in Alaska have been killed. and they were packing.
If I can not carry then I don't hike there. there has been more attacks on hikers from two legged critters than bears.

they advise to use spray but better to be alive and in trouble then legally ok and in some bears shit
