[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3855388, member: 45773"] I don't know why people get so wound up over black bears. Of course, they can be dangerous. Generally, though, they'll go out of their way to avoid conflicts with humans. I've had numerous encounters with black bears and without fail they ran away as fast as they could. I lived with black bears for the last 30 years before moving to Oklahoma. They were practically an every night visitor to our house in the summers in Colorado. Yes, they can be dangerous. But you're much more likely to be seriously injured by a dog than a black bear in places where bears are common. As a matter of fact, most noobs to the mountain community would eventually find their way into my gun store looking for a gun suitable for killing bears. I'd usually tell them they shouldn't have moved to the mountains of Colorado if they were scared of bears and recommended they find another place to buy their "bear gun". We found a dead bear on our property once. I took a metal detector up and located the bullet in what was left of the carcass. It was a .22 LRN. I can't imagine someone so stupid or so thoughtless as to shoot a bear with a .22 and I really hate the thought of the slow, painful death that bear endured. I'd like to have been able to shoot that person with a .22 and then sent him/her out into the woods to die. F**kin' people... [/QUOTE]
