I've lived in the CO. mountains forty years in a town where there are black bears We enjoy seeing them and no one has ever been hurt by one.

There are some rules though as they are obscessed with food as they hybernate much of the winter and must put on enough fat to last.

Never feed them. If you do they will come back and they then expect to be fed and might go uninvited into your house and raid your refrigerator.

Never leave out garbage, pet food, or bird feeders.

Never mess with their cubs.

Bears have been around here at lot longer than people and even though we are indeed at the top of the food chain, most people around here just enjoy seeing them. If one does get too familiar the game and fish folks trap and haul them away.

Mountain Lions are another story, they will attack and carry off small children. We have lions too but treat them differently. They follow the deer and we have a lot of those.

I have a .357 next to the bed and would use it if a bear got crazy.

I am more afraid of the two legged type preditors. I'd use the .357 on them too if they got too crazy
