You have no clue. A black bear can go from 0 to almost 30 mph in the time you blow snot out your nose. And they can do that through thickets,brush, trees, rocks, ravines, uphill and downhill where you would’t think a rabbit could go. In cover, you don’t see them running, you hear it, a huge crashing that diminishes quickly because of the distance and speed they cover.
The fact is they never really have to run because they are the bear and you are not. A big bear will usually only run because there is a bigger bear chasing it. Our out my way because we have hounds on it.
Don’t be telling fairy tales out of school.
The good part is, black bears can be killed pretty easily, when you have the shot.
These big fat bears couldn't run if their ass was on fire. I've seen them shot in the ass with a rubber bullet. They walk a little faster after a bellow. You don't understand how big these fat bastards are.
