I have had 4 real close sketchy encounters with bears. 2 of them with grizz.
Yes I bow hunt, I flyfish too.
Situational awareness.....in your environment is good.
Been within 10 yards of grizz 4 times.
I have lost count the amount of times I’ve run into black bears trail running, mucking in my yard... or camping/fishing.
And yes I’ve used lethal force in one of those situations.
Loud mouth... bear spray..... seems to work for me.
I do pack my gun protection when I’m berry picking, or I feel stuff is gonna be sketchy.
But really.... it’s like prepping to get struck by lightning.
But this would be derailing....
