[QUOTE="RugersGR8, post: 3030318, member: 56"] I'll be the first to admit that I have never hunted any bear before so I have absolutely no experience in that area. My only knowledge about bears is that you don't mess with a momma bear and her cub(s) or a feeding bear(as these to yahoos did). However, on one of the PBS shows on bears, I thought that they said when walking in bear country to make a lot of noise so that the bear could hear you(from a far distance) and woud avoid you. But again this was a feeding bear who wouldn't budge from his buffet. I did post the story of the kid who used a shotgun to stop a bear charge a while back: [URL]https://www.okshooters.com/threads/children-should-never-be-allowed-to-shoot-armed-11-year-old-boy-shoots-charging-bear.245386/#post-3005960[/URL] [/QUOTE]
