I like how the game and fish personnel when going in to the site to investigate responded to a charge. Not a one of them used bear spray. I think 4 of the 5 were armed and all 4 of those opened fire and killed the sow.

Now, if bear spray is so damn effective. You would think 4 people each with their can of bear spray, could get that bear to stop wouldn't you???

But, what they did in fact was, as their first choice, to use lethal force. This is further convincing me that spray is not the way to go.


Tarkio,

I'm willing to bet they determined that bear was going to die that day before going in there. No need for deterrent spray when the final option is necessary.
