Seeing a bear sounds really cool. What else have you seen while hiking? I have seen coyotes, deer and various small birds and animals. You been out hunting today? No.  The last time I went was when deer season started.  Weren't you scared seeing bears and coyotes? I was scared, but I was also far away enough to not sh*t my pants. Don't know what I would do if it was closer. its's not like i am carrying a bow with me while hiking. Maybe I should Or a hunting rifle, but you don't like hunting, lol!  Did the bear see you?  Did it have cubs? the bear looked at me for a second. or at least in m direction and then proceeded on its way. I think it knows whose boss, and that i was not a threat. no cubs. no hunting, but maybe i should have a rifle. I love to hiking and have kids, so better safe than sorry.  Lol!  Yeah, before you kids get big enough to go hiking you should learn some scare tactics for wild animals. yeah. do you have any? you must have faced off on a few animals in your day You can scare a bear by making loud noises, making yourself look bigger and scary by waving your arms.  Don't run, just slowly back away. thanks for the tips. I will buy a rifle and bring making loud bear scaring noises in the garage. What will my kids say!  I don't know!  But you will be safe if you ever encounter another bear! I was just imagining my kids hear their dad practicing loud sounds in the garage. I made me smile. thanks for the tip. I'm am being serious
