Not sure about the bear spray ..
Having sprayed people and see lots sprayed by others I’m not sure I would want to defend myself against a pissed off bear with OC spray!!! It’s very effective against humans in most situations. But I would look at it like this. If something or someone wants to tear you apart or kill you the option you should use is deadly force. With that said I would say anything such as a .45 or .357 and up would be effective if you use proper ammo and put a round through the CNS.
