I agree that everyone is so relaxed about the bears. We have plenty in our
area, and ALWAYS at least one mother and cubs every year. I walk down our
gravel road daily.taking my cell phone.not sure who I'll call to help, or if
I'll have time, but it makes me feel a bit better to have it with me. I
also take my two dogs, on leashes, who can set up a ferocious continual
barking when something is on THEIR road that's not supposed to be there.
Don't know whether they will be a help or a hindrance if I should ever
stumble across a bear, but again, if they are sniffing the air and looking
alert I know there is something around and I should pay attention to my
surroundings!

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] bear attacks in NS
Hi Randy,
I spoke to a lady a couple of summers ago, near Middleton, who was attacked
from behind on a trail in the Annapolis Valley. The bear was on her before
she even knew it was present. She managed to escape with minor injuries.
The cavalier attitude by some Nova Scotian's towards bears will lead to
disaster, sooner or later.
Hans

Subject: [NatureNS] bear attacks in NS
All,
I don't believe there have ever been any deaths associated with bear attacks
in NS, but have there been any non-lethal attacks? And by "non-lethal
attack" I don't mean someone just being followed or even charged, I mean
physical contact whether it be considered a mauling or not.
Thank you,
Randy
