Got within maybe 10 yards at its closest. No spray. No AR-whatever. No howitzer. Just an iPhone to shoot it. And then we rode on. I'll post a link to the video once it's out there. In the rush, my GF turned on the video instead of taking a still and didn't realize it. Funny that a 5' tall women wasn't scared. Some people in this thread could learn something from her.
Funny thing is, everything can be perfectly fine... Until it isn't, then it can all go horribly wrong... Having bear spray on one in bear country is PRUDENT and being PREPARED is... Not stupid or because one is scared... JMO
