Bear encounters have been crazy high this year. For this reason I’ve started carrying both bear spray and a pistol when in the wilderness, hiking, walking in the woods etc.
Stay smart, stay safe out there.

Black bears run away when you yell at them lfmao. Jist use a bear container and keep your distance from cubs. No need to shoot them.

Obviously the intention is to never have a run-in in the first place, or to scare them off if I do. But as you see here, that’s not always what happens and you can be blindsided. Bear spray would be the first choice, but if that doesn’t work, better a dead bear than a dead human. So I see it as levels of escalation. Better to have it and not need it…

Seriously, just keep your animal on a leash so they don't harass the wildlife and you are fine.
