>>2849926I’ve been wondering about some kind of pepper filled claymore you can strap to your chest like a suicide vest and deploy with a string pull like a reserve parachute. We had training IEDs with bulbs of them that made a little cloud of flour. Make it spicy and deploy on major impacts and that could do a decent job even if you get caught by surprise. No way you don’t get smoked too but it beats getting mauled to death.
>>2849970This is accurate. We do have to share the landscape but I intentionally don’t hunt with a dog in the mountains for this reason. The issue usually arises when bears aren’t where bears are supposed to be. If some dipshit takes his doodle hiking off leash around Bear Lake…hey they should have known better.
>>2849973In the scenario of human and dog walking down trail yes the dog getting eaten is better than a human but dogs and bears are way more likely to fuck with each other than bears and humans. Double edged sword.
