On the off-chance of being attacked by a bear or some other large creature while camping/backpacking there, do you think its possible to incapacitate them with a Taser?

Anyone's thoughts on this?

The range of a civilian Taser is limited to 15 feet. At that range you might as well just punch the bear… in fact, you may end up doing just that if the Taser doesn’t suppress the bear’s central nervous system real quick. Bear pepper spray just seems like it is a better option.
