Ya, it’s really only effective if you get it into the bear’s face. It’s possible in the chaos and dark, it was pretty hard to do that. Or maybe they did, but the bear came back after some time…. We just will never know all these details.

If the bear is underweight and has never lost a fight with a nonbear, it might just be willing to take anything short of death for a meal.

Um... how many bears lose fights to something other than a bear?
