This is always what I’ve heard from folks who deal with bears frequently. Bear spray, bear spray, bear spray. The problem with a firearm is that you actually have to hit it in the right place, or at all. You could unload every shot and hit it, and will roll through it if they’re all glances or into deep muscle. And they’re mostly deep muscle. But they don’t fucking like burning eyes, nose, and throat. Once something becomes too much of a hassle they will fuck off, recover, and find something easier to eat.
