My God, it was a grizzly bear! I told everyone to run for their lives and we all got back in our cars tout suite! What an insightful Story.... Uncle Eddie, the Great Outdoorsman, sees a Rocky Mountain Brown Bear, and tells everyone to "Run for their lives".... That is exactly the WRONG thing to do when meeting a Brown Bear in the bush.... it is just to [too] bad that he didn't munch you.... Eddie the Great DUFUS..... [...] No "Brown" bears in the lower 48, which are a subspecies of grizz (Ursus Arctos). We have Grizz in Yellowstone, Idaho, the Mission Mts, Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier; maybe some in far northeastern Washington state and the North Cascades; and black bear many places; that's it. No grizz in Colorado (to speak of) in decades. Mr. Sherman says just the opposite of you. Who am I to believe, you or him? What a question! You are a retard and Mr. Sherman always makes sure of his facts before spouting off. The subspecies is the grizz, not the brown. Zoology 101 You don't run away from either one; you cannot outrun either, and both have a modest chase instinct. With a grizz, you respectfully walk away backwards gently, not meeting his gaze, and talking evenly. With a black bear, you generally do the same, if you feel like it, although he's likely to run before you have the chance. I've never had trouble with either variety. Ed, however, makes his own trouble so he can talk about it afterwards online...'cause he's a 'tard :-D. The bear was sufficiently far enough away that walking away from it would have been a retarded thing to do. It is best to run when running is called for. It is wonderful to observe all the wild life experts who mange to get themselves killed or mauled because they think they know more than they do. Anyone who generalizes about bear behavior is a fool. Hell Bells, even the bear does not know what it is going to do! Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
