[QUOTE="soberups, post: 981986, member: 14668"] On the subject of bears.... Here in Oregon we only have black bears, which are about the size of a Saint Bernard on steroids. They dont attack people. I have encountered them on 3 occasions, all while hunting. On two occasions, all I saw was the ass end of one running away (they are FAST) when it saw me. On the third...I saw one eating elderberries one time while I was deer hunting. I sat on a stump and watched it thru the scope of my rifle for almost half an hour. I dont hunt bears since I have no desire to eat their meat, and I found it a lot more enjoyable to just sit there and watch it munch berries on a sunny day. That was actually one of the best hunting experiences I have ever had in my life, and I went home empty handed. I personally would never shoot a bear unless it was literally about to devour me or had been hit my a car and needed to be put down. [/QUOTE]
