But the story you describe is probably based on the Herrero et al. study.
Herrero is one of the co-authors of the report that is cited. The author of the article makes a good point. That is, it's kind of silly to argue about bear spray vs. firearms (I suspect he reads the campfire), when there's no rule that says you can't carry both, and I do when I'm in griz country.
Well, then. We have a meeting of minds. Let's move on. There's way too much dumbphuckitude on this here thread, which I studiously avoided until today, and which I will scrupulously avoid hereafter.
Can't believe how many bear/cougar/jabberwockie attack experts there are here on the 24HCF.
