Grizzly encounters

Article Abstract:

There are no hard and fast rules for dealing with bear encounters, but certain measures can minimize the chance of attacks or injuries. Encounters can be prevented by making noise to alert bears to your presence. Most charges by bears are bluffs, and so you should stand fast unless attacked.

Article Abstract:
