    I will not. At least not immediately.

    Go edit your misplaced concerns and fears to specify you we're talking about a specific type of bear in
    Your posts. It was not clear at all that your nonse^H^H^H^H^H^H advice was limited to non-grizzly bears.

    Thanks for your cooperation in avoiding these types of misunderstandings,

    Cameron, you fool, this thread is about grizzlies. Check the subject line.

    I know what the subject is Bob, but your posting history suggests that being relevant to the topic is not a criteria for you to post one of your contributions to a thread.

    Again, if you could clarify when you are posting to post, and when your post is supposed to be relevant to the topic, we could avoid these misunderstandings.

    Thank for your cooperation in helping to make these issues clearer in the future,
    –G.B.–

    ===
    A grizzly bear that emerged from a thicket and charged two backpackers in the backcountry of Denali National Park and Preserve was shot and killed by one of the two who was carrying a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol, according to park officials.

    "The man, who was in the lead, drew a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol when they heard a noise coming from the brush. When the bear emerged from the thicket and ran toward the other hiker, he fired approximately nine rounds in its general direction. The bear stopped, turned, and walked back into the brush, where it quickly disappeared from view," said the release.

    mmmmm …. bears ….

    A 30-year-old man is recovering in hospital after he was mauled by a bear on Saturday outside his home in northern Ontario.
    Joe Azougar, who had just moved to Cochrane, Ont., a small town northeast of Timmins, said the bear approached without warning.
    "Out of nowhere, this bear came just charging," Azougar told CTV Northern Ontario. "(My) German shepherd jumped on him and they started wrestling so I go back in my house and start making a few phone calls and making noises and things like that so he would disappear."

    But despite Azougar’s efforts, the bear did not leave and ended up chasing him about 40 metres to a nearby road. Azougar said the bear dragged him by the head into the bushes.
