Hi August

RM> Yes, like with most animals, they just cause bigger
RM> problems in time if you can't disourage them early on..

AA>Maybe no shooting was necessary! ..Just a good victorian boxer:

Ha.. Maybe that's a possible solution if the bear was that small..   B)

RM> Another time I was walking down the same road [...] a
RM> small (250 lbs?) yearling bear, in a bit of a panic over
RM> me being so close, lost his grip and fell out of the tree
RM> landing almost on top of me.

RM> That was exciting but he just jumped up and ran off as
RM> fast as his legs would carry him into the woods so there
RM> was never the worry that it might decide to attack.

AA>Good thing bears are naturally cautious and prefer to be alone.

Non-confrontational anyways. They don't avoid places with lots of
humans around but are more likely to prowl around when the people
are away or asleep or at least indoors. We've had a number of
encounters in the middle of the day, but I guess by mid summer when
there are a lot more people around they stay further away. I just
happen to be here at times when there's almost no one else around,
before the cottagers and renters come up on vacation.

Of course more people means more garbage around or even dummies
feeding them, especially when it's tourists rather than property
owners who usually know better..
