Shooting Have you ever had a bear incident?

Honest question: have you ever had to fend off an aggressive bear in Canada? (hunting or otherwise) What happened,​ and what worked for your response? ​​

Never had to fend one off but I practically bumped into a black bear when camping in kakabeka falls I looked down at a map, hear a grunt, looked up and saw the rear end of a black bear tucking tail and running away not 5-6 metres from me
