My dog has chased off black bears. Well, he looked like he thought they might be new friends, but they were too shy.

I archery hunt, forage huckleberries, fish, and bird hunt in prime brown and black bear habitat a fair amount. It's not lost on me that a good portion of that goes against being 'bear aware'. I do what I can to mitigate the risk but I suppose its like surfing in white shark territory, there's only so much you can do but ultimately the only way to mitigate the risk completely is not to go at all.

Cool critters, I like having them around.

i agree. scary sometimes but keeps life real.
Some of my east coast colleagues /friends ask if you "lose your edge" living rural. no it's just different
I don't want to end up on the darwin list

Black bears are as scared of you as you are of them. Brown bears will eat you or not, def not scared.

Yea I posted this in the wildlife thread of me chasing off one by just walking towards it. Chased another one off with a broom that was waste deep in my compost bin.

But when its night and I see splintered fences and trash cans in the street and the cops stopping me and telling me a big boy is here and not smart to be out with your dog. probably best to go home. Still don't want to surprise a bear in the dark.

Saw this buddy today 3:30pm in my trash.

If there's a better movie out there, I haven't seen it.
