Every time I try to put on Bear Spray, I seem to have a severe allergic reaction to it. Does anyone know what else I can use to keep the bears away if I want to hike here?

Hahaha @ Ric

Wear bells. They do sell bells online to keep bears away. You can also bring a small spray bottle filled with Ammonia or cider vinegar, Lysol or Pine Sol.

Go out on a trip with other people to chase them away. These animals will be more likely to approach a person than a group. The latter tend to make more noise, so the bear will have the opportunity to walk away in silence before crossing them. [

Most bears don't want to be around people. If you wear something that makes noise they will avoid you. Something like small bells that will jingle when you walk help . Never carry food with you. That's just asking for trouble ! Be very careful in the spring . Mother's with young are dangerous.
