Okay, I've never been to this board, but google isn't helping me.
If I encounter a curious bear, and I really don't have anything to lose, is it a bad idea to just throw some food to it? Like a raw steak or something?
I'm not a good runner and I'm not entirely keen on trying to punch a bear.
It's worth a shot? I know I'm sure as hell not playing dead if I run across a bear in the wild. I don't care if they say I can't outrun a bear, I'm fucking trying my best.
But yeah throwing food at it seems to be the best option. Or maybe pee on its face a little
That's a terrible idea.
People who feed wild animals are fucking retarded.

Buy a revolver in at least .44 magnum.
.454 Casull is better though. Trying to run or playing dead with a bear is fucking stupid. Shoot the damn thing.

No, it'll learn to associate people with food.
>>2125657
It'll associate you as a food source and if you're not around when it comes for more, it may just decide to break inside your place to get it.

If it's brown, lay down
If it's black, attack

curious hungry bear lay down and let it sniff you confirming you are in fact flesh and blood aka a food source
great fucking idea

it's the rule for grizzlies versus black bears.
you should play dead with grizzlies and try to scare off black bears. obviously if the grizzly starts to try to eat you, you should try to fight back.
If you feed it, it will come to associate humans with food. This will lead it into more confrontations with humans. Even if it never kills anyone, it will be seen as dangerous and be killed.
Fed bear is a Dead bear.
so yeah, feed a bear if you want it to die.

Literally why?? If it's black, pet the cutie and give it yums.
