"We heard he had been chased on the bicycle for a while,"

One more reason to stay in shape and practice interval sprints.

Sorry and all that the guy was injured, but that's funny no matter who you are.

Take Canadian legal limits off owning/carrying this, and that will reduce the problem.

There is a huntin' season; bears hunt humans. No bag or size limit. And always travel with someone slower in a foot race than you.

"Say, I've found a perfect spot to catch us a bear."

"How can you be sure?"

"I saw a sign that said Fine for Hunting."

The #1 Rule in biking/hiking in bear territory:

I know this is going to sound really studid but here it goes. This bear weighted 140lbs. That means an average guy might have, say, 40lbs on him. Now, I know bears probably have some sort of disproportional strength compared to humans and they have claws. But we have brains. If I have a brain and 40lbs on a bear, wouldn't that be worth something?

I know. To suggest such a thing means I have no brain

and was shot and killed when it refused to leave the area, a warden said.

Yogi to Ranger Smith: Up yours Mr. Ranger Sir, I am not leaving. He had a picanic basket and wouldn't give it to me. He thought he was smarter than the average bear, but I showed him.

Ranger Smith to Yogi: I warned you Yogi, now I have to shoot you. (BANG!)

I know this area pretty well. What's most unusual about this is that it involved a black bear, and not a grizzly. I didn't think black bears were all that common in the Canadian Rockies.

I was going bear hunting. But on the curvy road to Banff, there was a sign, bear left. So I came home.

Man (Freeper kanawa) stabs bear to death

A Waterloo man and his dog made a harrowing escape from the clutches of a vicious black bear Thursday while portaging near Wawa, Ont.

Tom Tilley, 55, killed the nearly 200-pound bear by jumping on its back and stabbing the aggressive animal with a six-inch hunting knife after his dog alerted him and distracted the bear.

Cross-ref to another bear story.
