We have been spending time in BC, Alberta, Yukon and Alaska many times (going again in a few weeks) and one of the first things we buy, before heading for the wilderness, is bear spray. It is not a "cure all" but I feel a lot better carrying it! And guess what, it's illegal 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.

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
