I totally disagree. There are certain thing you do and not do while in areas that are inhabited with bears. Sadly most people are not trained or do not follow the rules. Never feed bears. Keep all food in bear bags suspended between trees. Never keep food in tents. Have your tents placed well away from eating areas and bear bags. Never approach a bear no matter how cute. Do not make any sudden moves around them. And finally depending on the type of bear your actions could save your life in event of attack. Some you lay down and play dead others you fight like your life depended on it. Guns are a poor choice. Make a bad shot and wound it you probably just sealed your fate.

Perhaps you should read post 36..as for a poor shot well 8 rounds of .45 at close range does tend to remove most pests.
