Bear Danger Increasing in National Parks
Bear Danger Increasing in National Parks
Henry David Thoreau claimed that in wildness lies the preservation of man, the preservation of the wild spirit in us all. Many people agree and visit Americas wildlands often. From hikers to hunters to outfitters, almost every year statistics show that visitation is increasing to our wildlands, especially in parks and forests. When bear encounters do occur, one response has been effective in consistently reducing the number of bear attacks with severe outcomes, the use of mace pepper spray.
When we visit wild country, we often visit bear country. In some areas bears, even grizzly bears, are increasing in number and as more people visit bear habitat, the greater the chance of an encounter with a bear. Occasionally these encounters lead to injury or even death, both to people and to bears. Bears and people and our wilderness experience can best be preserved by properly preparing for bear country.
