You’re supposed to carry bear pepper spray. The Park Service says it is “extremely” effective against aggressive bears. Riiiiight! Well a .44 magnum pistol is also effective against bears especially mother bears protecting their cubs.

“OOOHHHH, Look Honey, It’s a Bear! Get a picture of me with it, will you?”
And I just love how the others called 911, then did nothing while watching Momma Grizzly take care of the Human Intruder.
Funny how Mother Nature doesn’t respect those lines on the map and have her critters turn into Friendly Picnic Basket Thieves just because they live in Jellystone Park, isn’t it?

Yeah extremely effective at making you taste better to the bear.
I put tobasco on MY food, why wouldn’t Teddy Ruxpin?

Heh at the commenter talking about a 1911. If there’s no incident, nobody’ll know about my pistol, so I don’t really care about that park rule. If a bear wants to eat me, I’m going to stop it, and I’m not asking permission.

Okay, I want a full-auto Krinkov now.
Better than wearing those Troy Hurtubise bear suits that Stephen Colbert wants.

We were just there two weeks ago. I got a picture (from my car) of a mess of tourists standing less than five feet from a black bear. It happened to be a color-phase blackie as well, so I’d lay odds that they actually thought it was a grizz.
With that kind of stupidity, these incidents are only a matter of time.

The hikers saw the bear.
The bear saw a protein source.

Old but good:
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces.
Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.
