Bear risk/spray?

FlyingScot · 07-15-2025, 09:53 AM

A week ago on my morning walk a small bear crossed the road approx 50 yds in front of me. He was only 3' or a bit more off the ground, and I have a typical male ego, so this did not bother me too much. But now I can't stop thinking that coming across his mom may bother me quite a bit. I've repeated the walk a couple of times, but it is not as carefree as it once was.

Any thoughts on bear safety and/or bear spray would be appreciated. Thanks
