How to Handle Bear Encounters Safely
When facing a bear stay calm and make yourself look large. If children are present pick them up to prevent scattering. Give the bear space to escape and back away slowly if unseen. If attacked by a black bear fight back with available objects aiming at the nose and eyes. Do not block a mother bear and cubs. Contact regional Game and Fish or local law enforcement for help.
