My opinion on that is just like concealed carry.......

Been on the sharp end of a pissed off animal more times than I can count, hunting is good, keeping safe is better.

Not a bad idea to have a back up if the regulations allow for it.
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Bow hunted bears for more than 13 years. only had a couple close encounters. I used to carry a shotgun, but any more i just keep a bottle of pepper spray in a holster on my hip. The gun i just too danged heavy to carry. Bill

You want to know what works really well, once the bear charges you simply turn the bow around and poke him one with the buttstock!!!
Check out T-Roy from Team Backwoods on this northern Alberta bear hunt...
He is put in the situation and does exactly that...probably should have been wearing depends!!

a polar bear will sit at a hole in the ice waiting for a seal ..they just sneak up and kick him in the ice hole
