I’m so glad we don’t have bears around here. I would probably move if they were here.
They arent so bad- we used to watch em walk right under our feet when we sat on the back deck- (It was about 12 feet high or so- so the bears wouldn’t even know we were up there unless they happened to look up and spot us)
It is a little nerve wracking hiking in bear country- I’ve run into bears a few times- they have always taken off- but they could get ugly- so it’s not a sure thing- but bear attacks are really rare really-
We have bears in NC
