I don't know about the rest of you, but I have had real life encounters with bears. Most were transiants from the national parks that you could scare away, and of which were more of a nuisance than a threat. Two times they tore up my camp up and made working in the woods very interesting.

I've only seen one around here, and just briefly. They like to eat the field corn starting in august. They peel the ears and eat all of the kernels off. I think they do it laying on their backs, as they start in one area and seem to roll around. They get a spot 30 feet across rolled out after they've been at it for a bit. At least they eat the whole ear, not like the raccoons that eat only a couple kernels on all the ears.

I've encountered black bears several times in the woods of northern NJ and PA. They didn't seem to pay much attention to me, just ambled off on some important bear business.

While the future of predators may look bleak I can assure you that the mountain lion is on a big come-back around my parts.

Black bears, too. They're all over north Jersey these days. I hardly ever saw one as a kid.

We need some predators here, the deer and friggen monkeys are taking over the place. They have started to let the hunters open up more on the deer of late, and more restaurants specializing in venison are opening up. A mountain lion or two would surely spice things up! Once about a millenium, there used to be tigers here.

Hey, I'm smear my entire body with crap if it would make the bear turn up his nose.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
They come into my yard for the crabapples in the fall, fattening up. Black bears that is. Not a big deal around here unless one gets into town, then all hell breaks loose.

I guess a polar bear is about the only bear that doesn't shit in the woods.

Yea right, LOL. ;^}
MB if I hit you on the nose, no way would you eat me!
I hold the danish "breaking bricks with one punch" record. When I was at my peak( read: most stupid!) I broke 4 bricks in a stack with one punch. Rabbit punch, that is. I think that might put any dane-eating thoughts out of your head for a while
As for deterrring a bear by shitting your pants, that is , no pun intended, bullshit.
Emptying the bowels is a natural instinct in most animals, when faced with a dangerous enemy. So the smell of shit is going to tell the bear, that you are really scared of him ( her) which is NOT a deterrent.
We have the worlds largest population of polar bears right here in Denmark, you know. So we are used to dealing with them.
I have never had the opportunity to put my brick-breaking punch to the test, though.

Might we assume that most of these danish polar bears are in Greenland rather than Jutland?

Of course cattle and bears are two completely different critters (a bulls head is about the same size, from the looks of that picture.) I would have to say that my first reaction would be to look bigger and nastier than I actually was.....hit him in the nose....absolutely....
I've seen the after-affects of 'cowering' in front of an angry testosterone filled animal....second hand, thankfully. If you're going to work with large animals, you gotta have bluff. With that said, I've also faced down an angry mom who thought she was defending her calf. She called my bluff............
I think if I had my druthers, I'd rather have to deal with bear than large cats....ANY day!
