I can see this happening at that park

As per the article:
"If the bear knocks you down, then yes, your solution is to fight."

State wildlife biologist Rich Beausoleil told Seattle's KING-TV that the woman made the right call by attacking the bear after she was knocked to the ground.

Really? So wait until the bear 'knocks you down' to 'fight' ?

This is some of the most ridiculous advice I have EVER read.

If it's black, fight back; if it's brown, lie down; if it's white, goodnight.

That's a good saying! I prefer to shoot before it gets to that on all 3

If it's yellow, let it mellow.



Oh wait, that might be something else!

Thank you KG for the pic of the park area or whatever it is (I can't seem to enlarge it) but is this near where the woman lives? I.E. near the 'park' you referenced ?

If you've never been there, it's a neat little town with a fairly small year round population that ebs and flows with different seasonal draws. We've stayed in a couple vrbo spots. Plenty of area for yotes and bear to live close in without being noticed. Until something like this.

So many fond memories of that town. Love it!

A white bear would have just been given a warning and released, but they put the brother down. #BLACKBEARSMATTER #PAWSUPDONTSHOOT

We really need to stop arming bears.

So flush it down?

Twice, and jiggle the handle when you're done…. just to make sure that mummified looking hag is gone for good!

Hold the handle and count to three. You want to make sure that all of the brown stain is gone.
