I lived in the Alaskan interior for two years.
If you are in a gun fight with a bear, you are doing it wrong.
They are faster than you think, smart than we give them credit for and can suck up bullets like a tree trunk.
It is a foolish idea that if the human does everything right a bear will not attack them.
The bear is the one decides if they are going to attack not the human.
I lived in bear country for 66 years,
Trying to figure out why a bear does of doesn’t do something is not possible a lot of the times.
