Bears are out in force in Colorado this year.
I have a cow elk tag and a bear tag so I don't have to run!
I'm old and real slow, but I shoot OK.

Wait it was in NJ? Not gonna happen to me, no way in hell am I ever gonna be in nj period. Where I live I can carry! Oh and there are bears here!
HarryT, I don't know about you but in that situation my feet would not let me stand still to see if the bear would run by. I am sure when I got to the ranger station and he asked me if I was scared I wouuld tell him, No but I passed a few that were! Hate to hear about the bear attacks they just never turn out good to the people nor the bear. Now they will hunt a bear down , kill it and say they have removed the attack ear, and everyone is safe now.

I have a close friend that is entirely without fear. If a bear attacked he would spring on it like a pit bull.
If I were with him I'd have to back his play so long as he was alive because he'd do the same for me.
If I were with a bunch of strangers or almost anyone I know outside of family I'd break Jessie Owen's records getting out of there.
As for bears not attacking groups of five or more, I've seen videos of a bear charging that many hunters and their companions with three of them pouring magnum rifle bullets into him fast as they could work the actions.
That may be uncommon behavior but an enraged bear often has little in the way of common sense or instinct for self preservation.
A young woman hiking alone near my town was "molested" by a black bear. The bear was testing her to see if she could be made into a meal. The girl picked up a stick and fought the bear off. She was in the Marine Corps, on leave.
With all this wisdom I'm reading here, I bet none of you know what bears without ears are called. You ready for this.....? B. Okay in case you missed it, B(ears). No ears.
best defense for bears is a can of wasp and hornet spray.... short of a fully loaded AR-10
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).
Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.
We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
I have to wonder why they weren't carrying bear spray. Wouldn't surprise me if it was illegal there. Both NY and NJ are close by but I refuse to step foot there. Not being prepared is foolish.
Bambi-itis...they don't think the woods are dangerous. It's a nature preserve, it's NJ. ...that doesn't happen here..that kind of attitude.
Legal with restrictions... not exactly bear dosage...
Any non-felon 18 or over may possess for the purpose of self-defense "one pocket-sized device which contains and releases not more than three-quarters of an ounce of chemical substance not ordinarily capable of lethal use or of inflicting serious bodily injury, but rather is intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or disability through being vaporized or otherwise dispensed in the air". Section 2C:39-6i.

Same here, so what's your point? I was giving a simple suggestion. My 13yo step daughter carries the spray when she's venturing in the Poconos. Or should I hand her a 357 and say have at it? Never thought brining up a viable way to protect yourself, doesn't matter if you aren't going into NJ, would be a bad thing.

I have no fear of bears as long as I have one of my liberal friends with me. I just carry my Ruger LCP with me and I'll make it out of there just fine.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
