Even though black bears can weigh more than 500 pounds, and will easily win a fight if provoked, it is very unlikely that they will attack a human.
Bud Ahrens thought he’d done everything right, but a bear still found him.
When they succeeded, they breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their food bag, and walked 40 feet down the trail to see off some canoers. They were gone for mere moments, but when they returned, the bear had, too, and was trying to abscond with their food. Additionally, he understands that mother bears, like any animal, are very protective of their young and should be treated with an abundance of caution. Yes, baby bears are cute, but you should never approach one, as its mother will likely perceive you as a threat and become aggressive.
And always store your food in a bag when leaving camp or going to bed. Often called bear-bagging, it involves placing all your food, including food trash like wrappers, in a bag and hoisting it high into the airand a sturdy tree branch for leverage. Tie the rope to the trunk or a low branch and make sure the sack hangs 10 feet above the ground so a bear standing on its back legs can’t reach and far enough from camp that you won’t be in immediate danger if a bear does try to swat it down.
And when you head to bed, keep headlamps or flashlights and something that makes noise inside your tent in case you wake up to a black bear in camp and have to scare it away.If you do find yourself too close to a black bear and it either hasn’t seen you or doesn’t seem interested, keep your distance—300 feet if possible—and cautiously vacate the area. If the bear has meandered into your campsite or close to you on a trail, however, you’ll have to take action.
