Before I picked up my RV I asked this question, regrettably, what are your BEAR encounters while RVing, camping, hiking? I'm not fond of those large cuddly critters and it's the last thing I want to see in my RV adventures.

@ARD and @NWIP - I hear you have a story. How about kicking this joyous thread off???
 
Following this one!

Bears are fun, and not fun. We have them on the deck more often than we like. Drives the dogs nuts! And they eat all the fruit off the pear tree. But on the other hand, there is nothing cuter than watching a Momma bear and her cubs wandering across the field. :)
 
LAWD! So I may have exaggerated a grizzly encounter on FB, but I fessed up later. We went to the Grizzly Encounter in Bozeman where they had 5 rescues.

I carry my bear spray when hiking. Right now I'm not hiking by myself unless it is a well traveled trail because there has been a lot of grizzly activity here in Montana. Did you know that you get real big and loud with Black Bears, but NOT so with grizzlies. Also, leave the bells on your pack at home, "that's just ringing the dinner bell" per a more knowledgable person than me.

I've seen a fair amount of bears out hiking, but they were plenty far away - never ran into one. ? Meet Brutus...dontcha wanna give him a big hug?

Not talking to you. Presenting - The Hand

I had no part in the Facebook story, I have never been on FB and my goal in life is that it remains that way?

You are a part of it by proxy. You were the life saver with the Bear spray. You apparently carried @ARD and Lisa out on your back fighting off grizzlies on the way out or something like that.

You are such a troublemaker. I didn't say any of that. Bad man. Posting privileges for you have been revoked. Go ahead...ban yourself for the day.

I'm usually accused of being "the troublemaker," but have gladly stepped aside for @Neal to take the heat. I'm definitely sitting this one out!

Oh the art of turning things right back around and making you the bad one. I see how this works, again. That Bear is freakin huge, HUGE!!!!
