Katchum said: But iv deffo heard there’s much more chance of them doing you than a grizzly You are probably right there is more chance of a black bear attacking you than a griz, i cant be arsed looking up the numbers but there is probably 300 or more blacks for every griz in most areas where the populations co exist, and not a lot of areas where griz are common... I can tell you most people out here who are around lots of bears see blacks as a pest / nuisance, and griz as unpredictable and a real danger. Obviously with wild animals making generalizations is not that wise but most black bear are fairly timid and scared of people, griz just don't give a feck about humans full stop. Any sick or starving bear or a sow with cubs is dangerous, but a sow black will usually bark and send the cubs up a tree, a griz sow will attack u till she doesn't see you as a threat. And griz have a habit of stashing, burying and then protecting kills, and often the first u know your near a kill site is when a griz charges u. The info on fighting a black and playing dead with a griz is true, but only with a bear attacking u if u surprised it or is protecting cubs or a kill. A sick starving bear is trying to eat u, it doesn't matter which type it is.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
