Lets start a new thread for bear stories. Everyone has a 'bear' story in Canada. I have a few, myself.

I think they are scary and unpredictable. Don't believe that story that brown bears are harmless or that all you have to do is make lots of noise and they run away! Hah! Its pretty unsettling when you make lots of noise and they just keep coming...

Don't know anybody who has actually been harmed by a bear. Know a few people who have been stalked by grizzlies.
