Question for ya, when was the last recorded black bear attack? These things arent just sitting in the woods waiting to maul hunters. Dont worry.
Somebody has to make up the 1%!!! I sometimes get a little spooked, too. I know a lot of it is in my mind but sometimes I get a little spooked anyway. It adds to the excitement, though. Around us, there are plenty of bears that aren' t exactly afraid of people. They break into houses to get food. Our log house has chunks ripped out of it and claw marks in the logs and on surrounding trees from bears marking their turf. Darn right I think about bears.
