thing else you can find and throw them at
the bear, continuously. This may seem like
odd advice—why anger a bear, right? But
research suggests that the message you're
sending the bear means it hasn't encoun-
tered a defenseless deer or other prey.
This might increase the possibility that
the bear will lose interest in you and go
poking around for a beehive to ransack.
If the bear does attack, your approach
would vary based on the type of bear
you're dealing with. Against black bears,
fight back—hitting the animal's eyes and
snout. With grizzlies, play dead. Get into
a fetal position, and the grizzly should
give up. I hope so.
After any encounter—when your
pulse returns to normal—report it to the
proper authorities. *
