Interesting..........what I took out of that was in 18% of the cases the bears had to be sprayed multiple times to discourage behavior. Might not want to "shoot the works" on that first blast.

I seen a vid on TV some time ago where a guy shot a blackie 3 times and it just krpt on coming after pausing to rub its eyes a few times. He was yelling and being aggressive just before each blast. That bear was determined to get him. (wrong color hat maybe ;) ) The camera guy was either armed, brave or stupid.
