If you can get the spray out, pop the cap and discharge it in that amount of time, it will almost certainly turn the bear. Pepper spray is good stuff.

The only reason I discount it in this forum...

Consider this. If you talk to bear guides (and I know a number of them), they all have stories about how hard it is to kill a grizzly once it's adrenalized...

I was lucky, but I got scalped and had permanent physical damage to my legs that plague me to this day.

A 30.06 is suitable for any hunting in Alaska.

To my way of thinking, it's more about the optics than the caliber. A .375 with a 3x9 scope is next to useless in a bear encounter since such events...

I used to carry a .243 years ago, but now I hunt with a .350 Rem Mag in a Model 7 carbine. The .350 is probably overkill on a deer or caribou, but it's sure comforting to have with you in bear...

Pepper spray is great stuff for that bear that wanders into camp for your garbage, or that bear that puffs up with a threat display. You squirt them and they turn inside out to get away.

For defense, a shotgun is the best choice. But, this is a hunting forum and not many people are going to hunt deer (or whatever) in grizzly country with a shotgun.

The reason I like shotguns (for...

I've killed one bear in self-defense. I've backed down (or backed away from) probably a hundred grizzlies without having to shoot. There is one grizzly per square mile where I live and so I've...

Hunting in Grizzly Country

Do you hunt deer, elk or moose in grizzly country?

Some advice from someone who has been there and done that.

1. Don't hunt alone, even for a short stalk.

2. Do NOT use a typical 3x9 scope...
