bow slayer Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Looking to pick up some pepper spray in the London area. My dad has been seeing and having some close encounters with bears the last few weeks up in Lavigne area and I would like to pick him up some to carry with him. thanks

bow slayer Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Posted August 16, 2010 wow CT here in town has it in stock for 45 bucks,never thought CT would have stocked it.

TC1OZ Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Just PM Lunatic and tell him the bears scratched your daddy's car! LOL It was too easy! Instead of just taking the topic south! Might I suggest you get bear mace versus just regular mace! I hope that helps!
Brettiop Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Forest city surplus had bear mace at one point...check there!
SudburyAngler Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 I might also reccomend googling bear encounter tips
jedimaster Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 yah go for some bear mace rather than pepper spray. Its way more potent. err no comment on the scratched car....
kickingfrog Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Just PM Lunatic and tell him the bears scratched your daddy's car! Funny. I had to do a little serchin' to get the referance... and now I am doing everthing I can, not to comment further.
blizzcat Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 you won't be able to get pepper spray but they have bear spray at bass pro shop good luck!
bigfish1965 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Definitely get the bear version. The dog sized won't have any affect other than to make you taste a bit more spicy. Bear repellant also has a foaming agent which sticks to the bears yap. Best repellant is a 30.06 I have the dog sized canister for the coyotes, but I don't even think they are big enough for them.

danbouck Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 I have some Bear Spray that you could take if you can pick it up in Cambridge.
Black_Blade Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 LOL...was just looking at the bear spray can offered at Canadian Tire. Good for 8 seconds spray time at approximately 25'. Interestingly, there don't seem to be any product reviews...that may be a bad thing...nobody that had to use it made it back to write a review Agree that best deterrent is a 30.06, but have to get PAL license, etc etc.
smally21 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 ive seen bear repellent sold in just about every gun shop ive been in. google a product called 'thundercloud' - a fire extinguisher sized jet of maximum strength capsicum out of a standard aeresol can. no idea where to get it unfortunately. you could also consider hanging out with some guys that dont run as fast as you can
bigugli Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Funny I should just see this thread now. I just finished spending 2 hours getting bathed in fresh capsin. Darned skin is on fire. I'm sure I could boil up a quart or two of some liquid pain. The only known cure being copious amounts of beer.
Guest Rapala Boy Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 I was just thinking it would be funny if someone sneaked up on a snagger from behind and quickly sprayed a few.
Fish4Eyes Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Go to/call a local gun shop. The shops around my area carry them. Not cheap though, expect to pay $35+.
bow slayer Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Posted August 17, 2010 I have some Bear Spray that you could take if you can pick it up in Cambridge. thanks for the offer Dan,but last night he picked some up in Sudbury ,a couple cans one to carry and another to keep in the atv,plus he said he will start taking his 410 with him back in the bush.
NAW Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 thanks for the offer Dan,but last night he picked some up in Sudbury ,a couple cans one to carry and another to keep in the atv,plus he said he will start taking his 410 with him back in the bush. Will a 410 even break the skin on a bear?
Fish4Eyes Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Did the bears actually approach him, or was he just too close for comfort?
markiemark70 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 Go to/call a local gun shop. The shops around my area carry them. Not cheap though, expect to pay $35+. Cheaper than the alternative, I would suggest.
