Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / January 2005Have any Rv'ers used Pepper Gas (Mace) on an animal ?
Im planning on getting out in the wilderness with my rv soon ; just wondering if Pepper Gas works the same on animals as it does humans ? Anyone have experience with this ? Thanks.

Thanks. Check with your postal persons and see what, if anything, works for them. A water pistol filled with household ammonia works pretty well if the wind is right. <g> > DNandB@webtv.net (DN B) wrote in news:3562-41F57F44-444@storefull- > 3235.bay.webtv.net: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > A water pistol filled with household ammonia works pretty well if the wind > is right. <g> Bike Nashbar carries Halt. It's used by Postal Carriers and was recommended to me by one. Used it once, it works great on dogs. <http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=115&subcategory=1130&brand=&sku=1151 &storetype=&estoreid=&pagename=> HD in FL Have used it on a German shepherd once. It worked great. It irritates their nose,mouth,lungs very similar to humans. I have also been personally sprayed with it during training and I've found that it is a lousy feeling. In NH where I work as a Police Officer it is required in order to carry it. The reason being is that we will be in close contact with the person we spray when we handcuff them and secure them in our cruisers. We do feel some of the effects but not as much as a direct hit. I hope they don't make us get shot with the tasers,I'm afraid of electricity. > Im planning on getting out in the wilderness with my rv soon ; just > wondering if Pepper Gas works the same on animals as it does humans ? > Anyone have experience with this ?

If it had not been for the 2 officers holding his arms lowering slowly he could have been hurt. At $21 per shot I doubt they will waste a lot of rounds, fact is they asked for some volunteers and none would.

The stuff designed for humans won't do sh.t but piss off a bear. There is pepper spray desigend specifically for bears, big canister fires like 20 ft i think, but it's not fool proof. There have been cases where it was sprayed directly in the bear's face and didn't deter him. Other times people shoot it too soon and don't even hit the bear at all. Being out in the wilderness where 9-11 is of little help, might want to consider a large caliber firearm to back up your humane methods. Great advice. Many thanks to all here.

There is an old story up an Alaska about how to avoid and deal with bears. The recommendation is to carry "bear bells," little bells that jingle and let bears know you're coming, so you don't startle them. You should also carry pepper spray. Finally, you should learn to tell the difference between the scat from black bears and brown bears (grizzlies). Black bears are only 200-300 hundred pounds and not generally a threat. Black bear scat is usually full of berries and small animal bones. Brown bear scat is full of bells and smells like pepper spray. >>not_giving@you.my.address.com (Willcox) wrote: >Black bear scat is usually full of berries and small animal bones.
