Confirmed Black Bearin south Jersey...

Renee,

I use 'Counter Assault', it has a longer spray time, is EPA registered, and I prefer they way they market, without the hysteric's. It was first developed by a known bear biologist, Dr. Charles Jonkel of the Univ of MT. They also provide more useful information on which to base your decision. UDAP is a big seller as well, same amount of Capsaicin.

Hope this helps.

I like the counterattack website better. Is bear detterent able to be used on people as well? (I know you can't use the mace on the bear, it's not strong enough)

If someone were attacking me, I'd use it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the deterrent link and info...Joe and I agree it wouldn't hurt to keep a can on us while out exploring though I don't think the bears will be a problem for a while anyway.

I probably was Steve they were tracking through the woods. They did say it was male and was heading into the "deep" woods Then again they said it was a "young" male
