Depends where you spend time. We see way more grizzly where we hunt. Less and less Black Bears.
That is fake news... it is far fewer than that, and the "attack" is usually a bluff charge or simple curiosity and also mistaken identity, when someone is mistaken for another bear and bluff charged. Many bears are shot by people who "think" they are in danger, due to a lack of understanding in bear behavior... not that I am judging anyone's threshold for their personal safety zone... but it is something I have witnessed a number of times from clients.

My dad said that the bear was stalking her for quite some time and was characteristic of a predatory bear that calmly stalks you to try to cause a reaction. She said "he was getting too close". I believe she shot him in the eye or nasal cavity? The bullet went into the brain.
indeed. i ve been bluff charged multiple times by grizzly and never by black bears: but i had to dispatch 2 of them in northern quebec while hunting caribou ...

I did not raise my arm. He looked over his shoulder at me curled his lip a bit and walked away. When he was far enough away I went back to the house , said screw the light and had a large glass of scotch , and laughed. I have been caught a few times where if the bear wanted me he could have had me a
but not that close. Second pic is beside the shop.
