Found this to be a good read this morning, two bikers were going through Alaska, with bear bells on. A sow attacked and took down one man; the other sprayed the bear and was successful at getting her off his friend and he is recovering well. The two were able to walk away. Mountain biking in grizzly country is a tough sport!!

Good one, and I like the cartoon that shows bears watching people camping and climbing into their sleeping bags for the night, and one of the bears says: "Oh boy! Hot pockets!"Originally posted by denimdeerslayer View Post

How do you identify Griz poop, it has bells in it and smells like pepper.

Those things don't play games. Knowing my luck my buddy would spray me with that pepper spray and I'd just end up giving the bear heart burn.lolComment

Is it illegal to conceal or open carry and mountain bike in Alaska? Just wondering why they were packing bear spray and not a 44 mag. Then you said bells and helmets and i knew why.Comment

They were on an Airforce Base. Maybe the reason they couldnt carry. However looking at thier biking attire.....i still think the bear spray was their first choice.Comment

Happy ending? The 2 guys were gay?Comment

Not that I wouldn't carry a big pistol in grizzly country, but from what I've read, bear spray has been proven more effective in those split second encounters. With it happening so fast, most of the time that big wash of spray is more likely to hit the bear where it needs to.Comment
