coyoteseeker:

Thanks for your response.

I'm kinda new hunting in the north american fauna wich raised the concers that I wrote down.

I'm born and raised in Sweden and i am used to hunt around scandinavian brownbears.....although I have never been stalked by a bear before and the fact that I was raised some serious concernes today.

I've been attact by moose twice in my life (of wich once almost costed me my life) but The brown bears in Sweden is usually harmless and I've never heard of any one getting stalked by one in Sweden.
Thats why I was kinda chocked about the eagerness this black bear was showing me.

Anyway...Ive been speaking with thw gamewarden in charge of the area and his advice is the same as your's.

Since the bear now knows that Ther's free food in traps in the area I should take some extra percausions dealing with my traps.
