Will it work on bears?

I have never tried it. If I was close enough I would try almost anything. I know that they do not like loud noises, so it just may.

No idea - I doubt it would HURT, but given its varying effects on individual animals of the species it's intended for, I certainly wouldn't trust my safety to the chance it might work on any particular bear............

I have my doubts it would work well on a bear even. It barely stopped an aggressive deer at 12 ft when I used it. But if it does work on bears it would work on a lion in my opinion and all I'm giving is an opinion. From my experience with this product they vastly overstate the range. Instead of 30ft I'd put the effective range at no more that 12-15 ft. But the fact is it's far better than having nothing. However there might be things that would work better but I don't have the experience to know what they are.

I am not sure, I use it to keep bears away from my bees. However, the bears seem to go where they want to go!

I have not tried it on an animal of that size, but from the power of the 2- co2 charge, I think it should.

I am not sure, but I do not think so. Bears are extremely strong and you'd need a shotgun to kill them or even harm them.Wolves have extremely good vision in the dark, so even though they are blinded they might still attack.Overall answer: I do not think this will work on wolves or bears, but on dogs or humans yes!

I am using this one on a schnauzer that has a shaggy coat. I suspect it would work. The unit is quite effective on our dog.

I Don't Know. I think a 12 Gauge with a slug would be my choice for bear protection. I know they have special spray and canisters that have a high capacity just for bears I think I would at least try that. I think for personal protection against creeps & weirdoes this will be fine.

I purchased my Jorafirm over a year ago and have never had a problem. We live in a beach community, so do not have bears, but we do have a few raccoons and opposums. The latch has never been defeated by either animal. But a bear? I really don't know if they are dexterous enough to operate the latch.

The collar is large enough to fit a bear. We cut our's down to the size of our dog. The collar works on buzz, low shock and high shock. The high shock we only use when the low shock doesn't get his attention. I am sure this collar will work on dogs of all sizes. I'm very pleased with the results we have had.

Yes Nicole it will work but you don't need to place it directly on the animal you are trying to take the temp on just go about an inch away. It also works for room temps too. I used it when I had a litter of pups worked great. Wish you the best

What we did was to take two heavy duty shepard's hooks and placed them around the feeders perches. The birds love the extra hooks as perches while they wait in line to feed at this feeder. The shepard's poles has worked for us for several years.... although we don't have bears testing them!pGood luck!

I think you would be better off getting pepper spray made for protection against bears. And no this is not one of them.

I think you can in a pinch, but I would rather get the actual bear spray. The potency of bear sprays is about 10x that of the "human" pepper sprays I believe. Not to mention the size difference, with bigger bear spray allowing you to create a larger cloud of mist that would hopefully deter the animal. So my advice: use the actual bear spray for that purpose. It is your life you're betting on.

I tried to keep bears out of the garbage.........Don't bother. Doesn't work at all. Maybe coyotes.

Sure, I suppose you could. I do not grow a bear so I have not tried. However, using it to shave my neck it does get very close, perhaps too close for what you want. And the exposed metal teeth might bite into your skin (they do scratch a bit when I shave my neck). Definitely works better with the attachments.

I don't know if it can kill a grizzly, but I have taken black bear with mine and it did an excellent job. I hope this helps

I don't know about Bears but it works pretty good for hawks and hoot owls. I have found that the C9 clear Christmas lights hanging in the chicken pen on a timer to come on at dark works better than anything. make sure you have extra fuses for the lights. and wrap the cord where you plug the lights in to make it water tight if it rains. It is bright enough to keep the unwanted out and not upset the chickens. I have added some red Christmas lights to go with the solar lights and nothing is getting my chickens now. Don't know it any of this helps but the solar lights are worth the money. The electric strobe lights work too, but you have to make a water proof box to put them in.
