Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3535116, member: 7894"] No bear spray. Usually my encounters are at a reasonable distance. A couple times was 20' or less away. I will say bears in cities are probably more likely to be habituated and thus potentially more dangerous. Our bears out here in the mountains in Washington are very well behaved. :) It also makes a difference if they are in National Parks. There is a hunting season in WA, in National Forests they tend to be skiddish. No hunting in National Parks, they're more likely to ignore you and just do their thing there. [/QUOTE]
