I saw a documentary where a guy in Africa filled condoms with powdered hot pepper, and then insert a firecracker on top, with the fuse sticking out.

He then tied off the condoms. Him and his friends used the homemade pepper bombs to drive off a herd of elephants that were feeding in the crops at night. Seemed to work like a charm.

"When I was up in Alaska bear hunting my guide told me for problem bears some people would wrap bacon around a can of Raid."

I always thought that it was best to hunt with someone who was slower than I was.

I have wrapped pieces of meat around canisters of bear spray and that also seemed to work


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Buddy {Canadian} went to Alaska. Had a hell of a time sourcing bear spray. Explanation he was given, everyone up here packs a hand gun. Wink

I saw a show about Ellie control where they filled condoms with ground hot pepper. Inserted a firecracker with fuse protruding and then lobbed the lit condom at Ellie's in the crops.

I might try that with rioters if they ever hit my neighborhood.
