Black bears and grizzly bears are different. When you see a black bear, steer clear. If you leave them alone, they will not bother you. When you see a grizzly bear, on the other hand, a lot of people say that it is best to be loud and aggressive in order to intimidate it. Otherwise, it will sense your fear and eat you. In fact, though, it is much more effective to shoot it with your gun, especially if your gun is real.
Yay! New post! And such sound advice for dealing with bears!
I have missed you. Welcome back.
I have been threatened with that “real gun” threat. I think it was 1989. By YOU!!!!!! And it was very effective.
It’s great to see you and your blog alive and well.
