It’s amazing to me how many non-hunters don’t understand this concept – especially in PA, black bears are the last thing you need to fear (aside from coming between a mother and cubs or taunting one with food, etc.). People don’t seem to believe me when I tell them that they really are more afraid of us than we are of them.
