Would this be effective against a bear?

This is rated against humans. I don't believe it would do much against a bear. This is very small with short range. What you would need is much larger like a handgun and is better as a foam than a spray. However, this would be good against wild stray dogs or something more of that domestic nature.

I don't live in 'bear country' (live in the mid-west) so not qualified to answer BUT this unit will give a 2000 pound steer an 'attention getting' jolt so am sure the biggest bear will know he touched something he shouldn't!

Yes, it is reasonable to believe it can be used in such a capacity. No bear spray is 100% effective, however. This product is not EPA approved (and never applied for such approval).

I don't know if it can kill a grizzly, but I have taken black bear with mine and it did an excellent job. I hope this helps

Pepper sprays that are formulated for bears & animals are less potent than regular pepper spray (intended for human attackers). So yes, this Sabre spray would indeed work on a bear, for it is stronger than typical bear sprays. A drawback might be the stream which is narrow - a fogger may be more effective. As for making the bear more angry, I'd rather fight an angry bear who is temporarily blind.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.

Keep your gun and several mags in the bag with you... If your "quadriped" is a bear, you might be better off staying in the bag and staying quiet and still. The bear would likely ignore you after a few sniffs and snout pokes. Far better to let a bear get bored and wander off than to irritate it by shooting at it. Even if the bear decides to nip at you, the sleeping bag will offer some protection.

I am afraid of the product. Read the directions carefully. It has a huge force, and shoots far. Think about what the wind could do to innocent people or to you if it hits you in the face. I do not think you can spray just a tad to scare the dog. I am saving it to use in case I see something happening at my home or property. It is designed for bears, and I should have tried something else. I am afraid of attacking dogs.

this the same stuff that the l.a. police department use non large juiced up guys to stop them it is highest strength available on the market, ther is bear spray, but it is this this same stuff. if ytyou only have black bears where you recreate, this should be good to deter them. if they do charge start spraying at the head and upper torso. from 25 feet and keep spraying, this stuff wont put the bear down, if it doesnt stop the charge. and he makes contact, do not climb a tree they will climb up and continue the attack, and unless you want to jump, youre screwed. when you spot a bear nearby, you got to assume that he is a risk to charge. start waving your arms wildly and shout as loud as you can , try

most definitely not! you have to be touching the person, if a bear is charging you the last thing your gonna be thinking is where is my stun gun... lol, and it isn't deadly to a human, bears have been known to still get a person after several real guns have tried to take it down. also if it did happen to work by some happening.... when you stop pressing the button the bear will be right there to finish what you started.... perhaps an extremely rapid tranquilizer dart gun is what you should invest in, i think they make then in both rifle and hand gun styles.

I think you can in a pinch, but I would rather get the actual bear spray. The potency of bear sprays is about 10x that of the "human" pepper sprays I believe. Not to mention the size difference, with bigger bear spray allowing you to create a larger cloud of mist that would hopefully deter the animal. So my advice: use the actual bear spray for that purpose. It is your life you're betting on.

I don't have bears. My thoughts are that they are strong enough to tear through nearly any strength plastic. If they want it they will eat it.

We do not recommend any of our chargers to deter bears. When touching a fence, they may become angry and violent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I think it would, assuming the dog wants to go in! It caught a raccoon that weighed probably 25-30 lbs.

I would think so. If the animal is trap wise & avoids the treadle, I've laid a piece of cardboard over the treadle.

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

I doubt it. It didn't have any effect on ducks, geese, squirrels, birds or rabbits. Another buyer said the only way it would chase anything away is if you throw it at them. I have to agree.
