[QUOTE="Hasbeen, post: 280440, member: 3220"] That's the way I see it. Get to higher ground to make myself appear bigger, make a lot of loud noises, and back away slowly. Black bears aren't agressive toward humans unless some fools been feeding them from their lunch bag everyday. As I said, I have no intention of bear hunting with a handgun, it just makes me feel better to have it with me. I've never seen a bear on my place, they are rare so far in this area but are being seen more and more often. The closest was about 3 miles away last fall on the playground of a school. Funny story. My wife works in the board office of our local school system. When the bear showed up at the school the school secretary called the board office in a panic. The conversation went like this: School secretary: "This is **** School, there's a bear here! What do we do?!!!! My Wife: A bear? Oh Goodness! Where are the children? Secretary: It's recess, some are inside, some are outside. What do we do?!!! My wife: Where's the bear? Secretary: I don't know! What do we do? My wife: If the bear is inside, take the children outside. If the bear is outside, bring the kids in. Fortunately, the bear was outside near the dumpster, of couse, and some of the more level headed teachers had already rounded up the kids and brought them inside. My wife called 911 and they sent the sheriff and the wildlife people out but the bear and her two cubs had already left before anyone got there. [/QUOTE]
