Anytime I' ve going into a location that could house a bear I' ve taken my pistol. That' s the safe way.

hmm...might as well might as well just shoot em with your super soaker 5000. that would be as effective as your bowie knife.

NHDEMON, fill us in if you get to talk to a CO about the legalities of it. I' d be interested to see if they care more about you or what the bear has for dinner.

I' ll let you know as soon as I find out, I can' t imagine the situation hasn' t come up before. It will probably depend on who we talk to, I' ll see if I can get a couple of opinions.

Alrighty then, went down to the local fish and game and told the story to the nice lady, I was hoping to get more than one opinion, but this is what she said...
First fire a warning shot, then, if you still feel threatened, and the bear hasn' t run away, it is ok to shoot it, of course at this time I reminded her I was hunting with bow only, so there wasn' t gonna be a warning shot. Then I asked what to do afterward, she said to leave it there and call the fish and game department immediately and explain the situation. Guess I' ll be carrying a pistol very soon on all my bowhunts.

I' ve had some black bear experience in northern WI. They tend to get me out of my stand earlier in the evening if I see them. I also am ' very' loud' walking back to camp. Noise is good.
