I've dealt with bears on a daily basis. If you run at black bears and shoo
them they run away. Once has a troublesome bear ripping open the dumpster
and turning it over every night. I went after it at night with the bow and
hit it with a few archery blunts. I've hunted and shot a few.

Avoid bears with cubs and grizzlies. Out in the Cascades you can't see bears
as easily as in the Rockies. Usually the cub will shoot up a tree and you
know the mother is right below. Steer clear of it.

The most trouble I've ever had is with domestic dogs. I've been bitten
several times especially when on a bike. Wild animals are the least of your
worries.

I've had lots of experiences of the close up and personal with bears,
also. Was trapped in a UP outhouse for several hours while one traipsed
around outside...was one of the high points of my life (NOT...even 3
minutes in a primitive outhouse is 3 too many...)....

Relatively there are less attacks by dog on man than shark on man
becasue of the exposure level...how many sharks do you encounter on a
day to day basis vs dogs? Work out percentages....

That wasn't a bear--that was just Marv.

Now he has a 15' Boston Whaler with a 60hp 4-stroke outboard. He and Roni
spend a lot more time on that than on the 42. Or didn't you know they
bought a 42 footer?

Absolutely correct statement..... and obviously from someone experienced in
the wilderness.

I grew up eating lots of game and organ meat. I don't eat organ meat anymore
with the exception of heart muscle. I also eat raw fish and beef, it really
helps muscle recovery.

I do not understand why everyone heckles Mooron. His experiences are unique
to most here and he's usually right about everything.

Amen!
