I?m thinking of packing bear spray this year. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I carry mine in the form of 40 caliber  :mg: .
Usually on my right hip.

If you want to piss a bear off that'd do. Personally I'm a 44mag / 10mm guy. Live in CO, we don't even have grizzes. Not messing with you bud but 40 cal is not a preferred anti-bear round. Works great on people, not so much bears, not enough penetration.  Better than a knife I suppose.  :upthumb:

Well one thing is for sure. Born and raised in Colorado and have seen bears all the time. Thank goodness I have never had to pull it out and test it. I think they see it and are scared, lol.
Two years ago I had a big boar standing on his hind legs looking at me from about 40 yards. I touched my pistol and he ran. LOL
