The Air horn works very well....I used to take one with me on backpacking trips into the backcountry of the Sierras. I ended up using one three times there....every time the bears simply left immediately. The last time was with a huge sow, and I listened to her break branches as she ran for about five minutes....funny as hell.

Would Not suggest using this technique on more aggressive bears though ie: Brown/Grizzly/Polar.......probably just piss them off.
