Forestry and wildlife managers will soon have a new weapon to fend off a bear attack without having to shoot the animal.
Now, they can taser it.
Taser International has come up with a wildlife-specific stun gun strong enough to take down a large animal.
The tasers can shoot up to 35 feet away and offer three shots before having to be reloaded.
Unfortunately, the price of the guns is a little steep for your average backwoods hiker.
They’ll retail for about $2,000 U.S.
