@Entity3Self @acheronix nahhhh- generally running away is what triggers their predator instinct to chase and maul, and they're faster than you'd guess... best is to back away slowly before they notice you, but once they've noticed you have better odds standing your ground
@Entity3Self @acheronix and *really* you should be carrying bear spray in the modern world (but also truly who has it out of their pack at all times?)

Reply · Sep 27, 2022@xlr8harder @RonlaldS Slower but not tooo clumsy or the sort that freezes… because the bear will chase the live fleeing prey first!Reply · Aug 14, 2023@Entity3Self @acheronix hah, I have black bears at my cabin... they're less aggro than grizzlies but can still maul someone if provokedReply · Aug 14, 2023@erin_nerung I think this is actually tough to coordinate bec it's distance dependent & also courage - too close and you gotta fight / too far and you…Reply · Aug 14, 2023@chopstickfury01 lol they're generally not looking for a fight, you just have to not act like prey and run
