Dwayne;
I agree its been a nasty fall season for bears!
I mostly hunt birds now but pack the pepper spray on my hip and keep a cartridge carrier with both 00 and slugs. But weather or not I would have enuff time to get them into the gun is iffy. I hunt alone in the back country, always have. I don't wanna run into one and hope I never do. My plan is the spray to the face.
