A Bear Scare...

This is a difficult article to write because it can so easily be misconstrued. Trust us, this article is written more for the sake of bears than it is for the benefit of people. Here is the hard lesson…

If you love bears be prepared to scare the heck out of them.

First off, if you are in a wild area such as a National Park, state or federal forest, or any other place relatively devoid of humans and you encounter a bear... be in awe! Take photographs, admire it, let it go about its business and simply enjoy a bear being a bear. They are truly wonderful creatures.

If, however, you are in a residential area the rules need to change.

We are beginning to see more and more posts on social media showing bears in residential areas. They are getting up on porches, investigating backyards, sniffing around cars, and tipping over garbage cans.

This is NOT cute.

It is NOT awe-inspiring.

It is NOT good bear behavior.

It IS a potential bad situation.

You are looking at and admiring a bear that is likely to die prematurely because it is becoming food-conditioned.

If you want to help this bear, this is where YOUR behavior needs to change. Go ahead and grab that picture if you like but before that bear wanders off scare the crap out of it! Seriously this may help save that bear's life!

DO NOT APPROACH but bang pots and pans, blow a whistle, honk a horn, yell at it, do everything you can auditorily to make it unwelcome. A bear that is not only comfortable around humans but is seeking human generated foods is more likely to die at a younger age due to increased dangers in its life. So if you ever heard of tough love... it actually works at saving bears.

After all, wouldn’t you want to be the one that actually saves a bears life?
