[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2923804, member: 109862"] Me neither here in Saskatchewan. Biggest carnivore around here would be a black bear…and while attacks can and do happen it’s very unlikely, every encounter I’ve had with them it’s been very obvious they were at least as afraid of me as I was of them, and were no more interested in violence than I was. It’s not just size difference (because obviously a black bear is still big enough to make an unarmed human standing much chance a complete joke if they actually wanted to take you) psychologically I think they’re an entirely different critter than the grizzly or Alaskan brown bear. Even the way they look at you. Never seen a Kodiak, have seen grizzlies multiple times in my travels…never in a threatening way but even how they look at you seems different to me. The black bears looked curious and cautious. The grizzlys seem to be sizing you up. If they could talk I imagine they’d sound like Dirty Harry … “do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?” 🤣 [/QUOTE]
