Good question. Try it and let us know how it went.

had the same idea....guess it would be scared off at first for sure....nature doesnt create extremely loud sounds like that...the question is would the bear come back after the first shock or run off for good??

They hate us 'cause they ain't us

Didn't help this woman, and there were a lot of air horns. :(

I don't know but I have family in Alaska and I've visited a lot. When my brother and I fish at the river we take "bear horns." The only problem is the last time a bear got really close (it was sort of a smaller one even though it was a brown bear), it started approaching us curiously on our side of the river.

I totally freaked out, called out to my brother, we both started scrambling up to the car, trying not to run. Scariest moment of my life!! The bear came by and started going through our tackle boxes, sniffing around, and then moved on. We both forgot we had bear horns completely. That's how scary it is!!
