This is a story about how a bear attacked a woman in her own yard. The woman's grandson alerted her to the fact that a bear was there. She went out and started banging pots and pans together to scare the bear away. The bear took several swipes at her and was chased off by a neighbor who shot at the bear.

That's where Bear Pepper Spray can come in handy. It isn't just for hikers, campers who go into the back country. Anyone who lives in an area with bears nearby should know that bears can encroach into a backyard very easily. Mace pepper spray and guard Alaska bear spray are two effective bear sprays. They're both EPA approved which means they have the minimum amount of 9.2 ounces in the container.
