Smith & Wesson Bear & Mountain Lion Defense Spray 14oz Canister

The Smith & Wesson Bear & Mountain Lion Defense Spray delivers maximum-strength protection in a large 14-ounce canister designed for serious outdoor encounters. This professional-grade deterrent spray provides extended range and multiple deployment capabilities for hunters, hikers, and outdoor professionals operating in predator territory.

What Makes This Different

This bear spray contains the maximum EPA-allowed concentration of oleoresin capsicum (OC) at 2.0% capsaicinoids, significantly more potent than standard pepper sprays. The 14-ounce capacity provides approximately 7-9 seconds of continuous spray time compared to smaller 8-ounce canisters that offer only 4-5 seconds. The pressurized delivery system creates a wide fog pattern that reaches effective distances of 25-30 feet, giving users critical reaction time when facing aggressive wildlife.

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature extremes, making this spray reliable during early morning hunts or high-altitude expeditions. The wide spray pattern compensates for stress-induced aiming errors during wildlife encounters, while the extended range allows deployment before animals enter critical charge distances. Multiple outdoor agencies and wildlife services rely on similar formulations for non-lethal wildlife management in national parks and wilderness areas.
