    I've seen a few bears in the WA Cascades and Olympics. They don't like people very much. Best just stay away. If they feel threatened they either run away or jump you.

    In Washington state, the only recorded fatal black bear attack on a human was reported in 1974. Since 1970, state authorities have recorded 19 other human-black bear encounters that resulted in a documented injury.  https://wdfw.wa.gov/newsroom/wdfw-st...ented%20injury.
    I was hiking in the Olympics years ago and had a sow and 2 cubs near our camp. We packed up and moved as fast as we could. I don't need to hang around so I can post some video.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Black bear attack in WNC, sounds like a surprised encounter.

    Not to derail the thread, but does it look like that young bear has had something constraining it around its neck ..... or am I just seeing things?
    The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.

    Apparently that is a prior wound -- tough life being a bear.

    Wow, that one dog is get-in-the-bears-face-psycho-dog. He seems to be able to stay out of reach, but hes cutting it pretty close.
