Another Bear Spray Example - Whining woman

Whining woman sprays bear but he just chews her kayak instead of her. The bear didn't like the spray but he didn't seem bothered by it much at all.

Like the rest of you I've seen some pretty funny and stupid things in my life but this one is near the top of my list.

I wish I could talk with her about the experience. I'm surprised the bear didn't just leave because of her incessant, grating whining. Does she think the bear understands what she is saying?

I was raised never to hit a woman and I haven't but this one truly deserves a good old fashioned comedic slap to snap her out of it. I wish Lucille Ball were alive or Carol Burnett was on scene to do the slapping honors.

It is hard to imagine she was out in that report of an area by herself and really thought that couldn't happen. She is lucky she didn't turn into bear scat!

I tell people that it offers no re-flash protection. Kind of like using CO2 fire bottle on a raging inferno.

Yes, he slowly backed off and went a very short distance away. But it appears to have just made him angry. If the kayak hadn't been there to take it out on he might have decided to chew on the woman instead.

This begs the question how does one reload spray out in the boonies.

It looked like she shot the spray over the bear's head.

I could be wrong.... Did anyone else notice that?

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

That's one of the problems with spray it really isn't that accurate.

Then others say that's one of the benefits that it covers a bigger area.

When spray is a fog like you saw one well not get a direct hit unless the bear is really close.

According to a later article in the ADN, she's a part-timer. Maybe we can all pitch in and buy her a new (bacon flavored) kayak so she'll get the hint next summer and stay away.

Damn, if I were around that gal I would go shoot a few boxes of .416 Rigby without any ear protection.

Bear spray is not a long range weapon.

Probably barely got a whiff of it at that distance.

My first thought was with A7--what it would be like to be married to that voice and listen to it every day. Damn good thing for her it was not an aggressive half-ton brown bear.
In all seriousness, from the sound of the voice, I think it was Shootaway firing the best bear spray in the world.
