More Info: Bear Spray is a popular item this summer at many North Idaho sporting goods stores. “I mean we sell a lot of bear spray especially during the summer time, but for some reason this year we’ve sold quite a lot more,” said Steve Green, Wholesale Sports sales associate. Steve Green with Wholesale Sports in Coeur d’Alene attributes the higher sales to some of the more recent reports of bear attacks, along with a higher number of people recreating in the area.
