1 Bears will protect a carcass like it is their own cub. People jogging about without distance or firearms protection are fools. Pepper spray is a last resort and is REALLY a last resort if the wind is not in your favor. Distance is your best protection.

2 If yer gonna shot you better have more than a small caliber. Anything short of a 44 mag will just piss then off.

3 Bears are particularly aggressive in the spring when hungry after their hibernation and food is in short supply.

4 He probably uttered some slur about them not making it to the Super Bowl EVER again! That got me in trouble with some Bears fans once.

6 41 mag or better. Shoot to kill and run like hell side hill wise regardless. No gun? Don't go into the woods doofs.

9 I think you're supposed to back away slowly... turning tail and running makes you look like prey.

10 Sheik, depends. On a steep hill use gravity to your advantage--quickly out of sight is out of bear's mind.

11 As I read the other day, presence of mind is good- absence of body is better.
Seriously, we are going to bear country this summer, I was thinking about a .357 magnum. Any comments? I have only ever used a rifle.

12 44 magnum. Practice with it. Only use it if you need it. 12 gauge with "punkin' balls" works well too.

13 Thanks SPoD. Noted.
