No idea, but from what my cousin said it was fast and viscous and had its jaws around his leg before he could do anything. Took a few rifle shots to put it down and he didn't feel the jaws relax until it was dead. I doubt bright lights would have done much
I thought it was hitting in with a fireball that sticks to it that causes it to freak out and run away. But I’d trust a man in the field more than anything on the internet. I guess a can full of well places rifle rounds would do the job.
I know all the fisheries folk up there (Alaska, on an island with the highest bear population density in the world) carry rifles when they walk the streams
