Hello to all,

I am in agreement that most animals fur in the wild, will act as an insulator against the barbs of a "taser gun", or the prongs of a hand held (contact) taser. However I have heard some of the hand held units emit quite an obnoxious sound that may drive animals away. Although as others have mentioned in this thread I do not want to be the one to find out.

From the few people I have met that have used bear repellant, on animals they claim to have had great sucess.

Thank you for posting a very interesting scenario for wilderness survival.
