Buy bear spray and keep it on you. More effective than spraying bullets and safer.

What about just hunting with a shotgun and birdshot? Fully legal and enough power at close range to persuade a bear to leave you alone.
I understand Snowwalker thanks.Quote:

If your going to shoot it then 3030 power or more.
Thank you all for your input.
Combos seems great, a little more work but great, if memory serves.. I may actually know a friend's father that may have one.
werner.reiche I spent pretty much all day net browsing and there's lots to see, thanks for those great options!
Snowwalker Thanks for reminding me of that. I understand why that law is in there but it is utterly stupid if it's to defend yourself. Maybe will have to do a Tyson move and bite it's ear off to prove it was for self defense :) I'd rather go to jail than getting tortured by an attacking bear, miss an arm/leg or perhaps my life.
I appreciate your suggestions guys, thanks a lot.
In Ontario.
thousands have hunted bears with bows. To the best of my knowledge no bow hunter has been attacked.let alone killed.
Tens of thousands more go camping each year. Attacks are very rare. A good number of these people or a certain percentage anyways are shall we say. Not bush smart. Many will leave food around, panic if a bear pops out of the bush, do things that can trigger attacks. And yet.......
fool proof this? No, I imagine not.

Dont see why the same bird shot in the air, won't work as well. Loud bangs do stop charging bears cold. You don't even have to buy a bear banger. And if it doesn't work. There is spray for emergency back up.
Lightning stikes, it happens. Usually precautions are all we need. I don't let the threat of being hit by lightning stop me. From doing things in life. Nor do I carry more than a toothpick when hunting them.
So you are asking an officer to determine whether its for protection or one is just scamming the situation? Given that way too many hunters would take advantage of the 'exemption', most would see nothing stupid about it whatsoever.Quote:

appologies for the wrong video. Corrected now but just incase. Here it is again.
something else I, and thousands of others do. Hunt them with cameras. And yet....
camera man, stops a charge with a loud bang.

Did this sow mean business? You bet, don't think there's any mistaking this charge.

So when hunting partridge with a SG..........don't see how a slug or rifle round is any louder than a SG with birdshot. And if that's fails, there is spray...and if that fails, well sometimes your number is just up, and you get hit by lightning.
Sawbill, I know why the law is for but if it's between life and jail for a few months.. I'll take jail.
JBen, I know it's rare but it happens. My grandfather said the same thing that they're afraid of us but yet 8 years before he said that his friend's wife lost her life while fishing and the bear dragged her and ate her instead of the fish. It happens! and I'd rather have something to better my odds if it ever does to me.
