Like chewing the gristle on a chicken bone.
That's how Brent Case describes the hungry, grumpy grizzly bear gnawing on the back of his head. 'He's eating my brain. I can feel it,' recalls Case who pretended to be dead while the bear jumped up and down on him several times, then wandered off. He was left with gashes on his head, arm and knee. Yes, Sring has arrived,lots of hungry bears looking for food. Until the vegetation begins to green, the bears emerging from dens after fasting in hibernation for several months are not very particular about what they snack on. This was one of the first bear attack in B.C. this season and came just days before the province announced $450,000 dollars for bear awareness programs aimed at reducing the number of human-bear conflicts.
A Lycoming County woman suffered bites on her leg, and an injured hand as she tried to save her dog last week.
If you chance upon a bear:


Stay calm. Make noises. Find a route away from the bear.
Face the bear, but avoid direct eye contact. Do not turn and run or climb a tree.
If a bear prepares to attack, stand your ground, wave your arms wildly and shout.
If a bear attacks, fight back. Black bears have been driven away with rocks, sticks, binoculars, car keys and even bare hands.
If you see a bear cub, leave it alone. "During the spring, sows may leave their cubs for several hours, typically up in a tree, while they forage," Ternent said. "The best advice is to leave the area and never retrieve the cubs. Staying in the vicinity only prevents the mother from returning and attempting to care for them."

    I one time saw the aftermath of a man attacked by a Brown Bear in Naknek Alaska. His head was actually missing from his torsoe. We had been warned to take taxi's from the city dock into town as the road went past the garbage dump and going on foot was hazardous. He decided to save the $12 dollars and walked anyhow.

    In the past it was uncommon for mountain lions to attack humans. Usually it was situations where the person attacked was too close to cubs, which usually the case with bears as well. But in recent years there has been more attacks and several have been joggers and a couple on bicycles.
    I don't know about showing teeth, but make noise, make yourself appear larger and back away calmly. DO NOT STARE!!!

    I guess that's a good thing. Pumas have killed a few people. What do they say, carry a stick, yell show your teeth rise your arms over your head and don't run away.

    I have lived in California, the 'Bear Flag' state, all my life and have spent alot of time in the mountains, but I have yet to see a bear in the wild. Have not seen any mountain lions either, but I have tracked them.

    I think it'd on YT. I don't know if i could accept a bear chewing his way through my skull. Let's hope i never have to find out! I just read a reveiw for Indy, looks like a winner. They are spending about 150 mil to promote. I've seen your vids on the promotion.

  • I think in reality, ...

    I think in reality, those who "play dead" have actually surrendered and accepted inevitable death, as opposed to courageously remaining still. People say that once you accept that you are going to die a calm comes over you.
    I haven't seen that doc... I'll have to look for it.

    Hi, i can't imagine being able to keep still and quite if your attacked. I think that's what happened to Grizzly Man Treadwell's girlfriend, she just screamed and hit the bear. Have you seen that excellent doco 'Grizzly Man'?

  • Bears attack ...

    Bears attack because they feel their turf is threatened. By playing dead a person is no longer percieved as a threat. Of course they will continue to paw and bite until they are sure. Many survivors have said that the worst part wasn't the pain, but hearing the crunching sounds.
