Bears can be dangerous. James Albert Maierle wrote some articles for hunting magazines, and may have had one included in a book anthology. His son would like to track down some, because he has not located any copies. If anyone knows of one or more of these articles, please inform the poster, marktwain.

And unpredictable. If it’s early Spring and they have just come out of hibernation, you are breakfast. And if it’s late Fall and they need to pack on some pounds for hibernation, you are dessert.............................

Was it a black bear or a grizzly?

In trying to open this article, it went to the site and then proceeded to a Norton site with 3 additional pop-ups giving Norton Virus Warnings. I don’t have Norton. I couldn’t close the pop-ups. It shouldn’t have done a referral to another site, the Norton site,...Is something wrong with the article/original webpage?

Sounds like you might have a malware problem or someone is trying to get you to give them your personal information.

Gads I’m dense. I’ve even had a cup of covfefe.

I was going to say there was a slight chance that a black bear would break off with shouting and arm waving, but not a grizzly.

Very slight with a momma bear, but non-zero.

Glad you have had some coffee.

Don't worry about it. The only people who never make a mistake are those who never do anything.

That is the worst mistake of all.

I make lots of mistakes...

Bears are very dangerous- there was a fella who was in the road taking photos of a bear on side of road, and he man was run over by a semi truck. Stay away from bears!

I thought I made a mistake once, but of course I was mistaken.

That’s my conundrum. I’m pretty sure I don’t have issues on my end. I’m glad to hear others aren’t having issues with the article. I would have liked to read it.

To the best of my knowledge Grizz have never occupied that part of the country, pretty much west of the Mississippi River in the western United States.

From Alaska down to Mexico, from the Pacific coast out to the Great Plains.

Grizzly bears are relative newcomers to the U.S. South of Canada. They got here about the same time, or a little after, people.

People will recoil in terror when a door is answered by a 120-150 lb rottweiler, but still want to perceive a black bear 2-3 times that size as something cute and cuddly.

Bears have a much better, louder, and better financed marketing department (starting with Disney!).

“The area was pretty wild in the early 1960s.”

It’s still pretty wild.
