[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 3854568, member: 17977"] Black bears are often much more afraid of us than we are of them. The amount of construction over in this area though has probably stirred up any remaining population so they’re on the move making them a bit more agitated than usual. Black bears are smaller than most other species, but I wouldn’t mess with one without a 10mm if using a pistol or preferably a rifle cartridge of some kind. Can you use anything else? Sure, you could even throw a rock…. once. I’d probably just call animal control though unless I’m exposed with no other options. Every few months I see reports of all sorts of things out this way, but I’ve never seen anything in person. There’s been alleged mountain cats, bears, even the legendary Oklahoma “wolf.” I really don’t know what to think, but better to have a plan just in case. [/QUOTE]
