Toyuzu said:Black bears (not sure about the rest - we only have black bears here.) have shorter front legs and longer rear legs. They do have difficulty running downhill because of that. Not a myth. If you are being threatened by a black bear and your only choice is to run, run downhill.
Truthfully though, bear attacks on humans are extremely rare. There is a wild animal where I live which is far more dangerous than bears. Believe it or not: Wild Boar.

Sorry DTop, with my experiences over this summer, I'm still running downhill. BUt you are right, bears can still run quite well for their build.

>*CrAzY*< said:Ever heard the child's song about being chased by a bear? I can't remember how it begins or anything, or I would type it on here.
Put it this way, bears are pretty decent climbers also. I don't recommend going up if you are talking about a black bear.

behemoth79 said:i hate it how people have come up with ways to try to get away from the bear without huring it. my fav has been play dead. some of these animal rights people place animal lives above human ones. i never go camping or into the wilderness without doing some recon. if i see that there are bear warnings, im gonna take my rifle with me. if i see a bear within 50 or so yards of me, facing me, im gonna shoot it.
if a bear travels at 35 mph, that means it would go 50 yards in about 5-6 seconds. its 2.9 seconds at a constant 35mph so i estimated 2 or 3 seconds to accelerate to 35mph. how fast can you get an accurate round off?

what bad taste, get an MP5, then double-tap his head. if that doesnt work (the 9mm is kinda dinky) then you run away screaming or play dead or whateverfronzz said:Would you swing out your Uzi?
