This thread is great! I have never seen a bear, but have seen the poop...no envy here though. I guess I just make too much noise with my heavy breathing and dragging feet...I'm not the most in shape hunter/hiker.

Seriously, Deej is right about them running away. They have no interest in you and will always run if given the chance. Years ago I was riding on a narrow tight trail. I came around a tight corner going fast and there was a big male bear walking towards me. I hammered the brake and literally skidded to a stop right beside him. I mean I could have touched him with my left hand, if I wasn't squeezing the clutch. Ont eh other side of the bear was a six foot high wall of dirt and rock. That bear grunted and leaped up that bank so fast he **** himself and the last I saw of him was his fat hairy *** crashing through the bushes. I could hear him for a while bashing down the brush as he took off.
If you happen upon one while hiking, which is very common here on the island you just make your self look as big as possible, hold your pack over your head to make yourself look even bigger and stand there. Usually they will back up and leave, if they start smelling the air and walking towards you then you should walk slowly backwards out of his space. It is best to make noise while hiking in dense bush to warn them you are around. If a bear is sick or injured and hungry or protecting a cub then you should prayto how ever you think might help you....what ever you do, don't run

Cougars are a little scarier but it is basically the same drill. except after the cougar has left you pull out the toilet paper and wipe your ***.

Its true. They have about as much interest in seeing you, as you do them.

Just keep in mind, long after they're gone, and you no longer see them, they are still watching you.
