You can scare away a friggen black bear with a stick. Hell, I once told a black bear to fuck off and he did just that. They're more interested in tasty berries than humans anyway. The problem with bear spray is that it can mess you up just as bad as it can mess up the bear, especially if you're using the "Fog type". If you're spraying into the damn wind it's gonna act like seasoning for the bear. How about this, stay out of the bears business and it will stay out of yours. My biggest suggestion is to seal up all your food and keep your cooking quick and simple if you're in a high bear populated area. Bear spray/guns is your last option in all occasions, so be bear aware and avoid meeting one altogether and you will be far better off. Maybe put on one of those bear bells and walk through the forest cursing and singing acdc songs all day long.
