Re: [RC] Does pepper spray work? - rides2far@xxxxxxxx


I used to carry a canister of mace. One day about 4 horses made it past a 
yellowjacket nest on the trail before the rest of us came up and they were 
circling the nest, kind of ticked off. There was no way around, so I had the 
bright idea to mace them. Wanna know how to make a yellow jackeet even madder 
than usual? :-O

I was surprised it came out in such a fine wide mist. Would have been totally 
useless unless the person was within 2' of me. I was glad to see what it was 
like. I like dog spray. It shoots out like hornet spray, heavy and long 
distance...but the stupid clip on mine faces the wrong way. If I attach it to 
the hand brake cable on my bike and grab it it's facing into my hand. 
Fortunately the Rottweiller I tried to spray had apparently been sprayed before 
and when he heard me spray my palm he ran. Palm stung like crazy. Had to make 
sure I didn't rub my nose!

I've got a Dalbermation who has decided to chase the horses when I drive up 
every day. Twice now I have seen 7 trot all the way across the field to chase 
him back out of the fence. Nice to know he goes on the attack.
