Based in Butte not make in Butte. I believe it is can just outside of Casper WY still
Generally recommended NOT to use people spray, apparently it doesn't work as well as bear spray. Nor does Hornet, wasp etc.
Most of the blurbs indicate speed is of the essence since a charging bear can cover so much ground so fast that keeping the spray ready for deployment seems essential to success.
From what I have read, Bear spray isn't the strongest pepper spray but is designed to fan out and get on the bears coat versus a stream used most people spray.
Object is to make bears link people with bad events thereby limiting their desire to check us out.
Shooting the bear might just piss it off and even if it dies later it may still kill you.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Interesting reads on Bear Spray on the Interwebs.

Bear spray has been proven to be highly effective at deterring brown bears. It is fairly effective on black bears too. Initially, it will generally encourage them to leave an area, but they will often come back. Browns do not. I guess black bears are either slow learners or more conditioned to associate people with food or both.

YMMV, but I would carry some of the UDAP along with at least a 44 mag...just sayin.
Listen to this man. Last night he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. [;)][:D]

On my last backpacking trip into griz country I did just that.

I've tested dog spray several times. Spray is useless, needs to be a stream. Dogs generally recognize it must be some type of weapon & stay JUST out of range. Some will rub their faces in the grass so it worked fin, others seem to like it & wait open mouthed for more. In all the years I carried mail I only got a very few since most stay out of range but at least then they can't bite me so it worked.
