There’s even an influx of bears in RI - one’s been seen wandering around close by where we live. Hopeful nobody gets it into their head that they should try and shoot it

Tastes like pork, unless it's been eating a lot of fish. At least that's my experience with black bear. Never got the opportunity to hunt brown bear. Would have loved to...Also would have given me an excuse to buy a .375 H&H...

About 50 years ago, I had some friends who went camping and made the mistake of keeping some snacks in the tent. They were awaked in the middle of the night with the large head of a brown bear looking through the opening of their tent. The husband had a 357 magnum, and the wife was going "shoot it!! shoot it!!", but he waited, didn't shoot - and the bear left. They did not keep snacks in the tent after that.

When my nephew was walking the Appalachian Trail, he had fallen in with a couple of other young guys...That tends to happen a good bit...You may walk to the next stop or even do a few days together.
The three of them had a high pucker moment. They're walking down the trail and a bear cub crosses right in front of them. They stop dead still and hear Mama calling for baby. They quickly grabbed their jackets or blankets off their pack and huddled together.
Mama lumbered out in the trail and gave them the eye. They stretched out their coat and blankets above their head, making themselves as big as they could, and started yelling. She stood on her hind legs and growled at them to shut up.
God intervened and baby started squalling for Mama, and Mama took off on the run to find baby.
My nephew and his two trail buddies took off running, too. And didn't quit until they were a half mile down the trail...
