For black bear encounters, there are two types of black bear attacks, predatory and territorial. You have to be able to determine which attack situation you are in as both have different survival techniques to use.

A predatory attack is the most harmful because the bear wants to chomp down and end up washing you down with a Natty Daddy cold beverage. This is the type of attack where you have to fight back. The bears nose and eyes are the go to areas if you do not have a weapon. You will notice the bear stalking you and trying to be all sneaky like. You are considered food at this point.

A territorial attack is when you either spook a bear by accident or get near bear cubs. To defend this attack, you lay curled up with your hands and arms protecting your face and neck. The bear will toss you around a bit but will eventually leave you alone.

When I am in the forest, we are trained to make lots of noise. We fire of air horn blasts whenever we arrive to our intended work area and continually talk loud. Black bears are curious but are usually cautious. Making noise scares them off 99% of the time. Standing still like the joggers did is the absolute last position you want to be in. You’ve already made a big mistake of a bear gets that close.

Grizzly attacks: Your F’ed. Those mean buggers will slap you around just for the heck of it. Spotting a grizzly, the only thing you can do is slowly walk backwards away from it. Never turn your back on a grizzly, you will become prey and then you’re in in for one hell of a fight. Nunchucks needed for sure.

This concludes your bear awareness safety course. Please fill out all documentation and your certified safety ticket will be mailed out to you......... Oops, I’m too used to taking this course. 😂

Bears can't see that great, but they can smell from a long way away. Don't go out smelling all fruity.

The goats I was following were photogenic. Since they had a young'un I kept a good enough distance to duck behind a rock. They would walk 50 yards, stop and wait for me to take a picture, then move on.

We can legally hunt 30 minutes past sundown and 30 minutes prior to sunup. Yeah, right. My eyes aren't that good. We bail pretty much at sundown.
