ATGATT Attracts Bears? Biker OK after collision with bear - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca I'm now with Colbert in the fight against bears!
I almost hit a black bear coming back from a ride in the North Georgia mountains about 1 month ago. I came around a sharp turn he was just sitting in the middle of the road. I braked hard and hit the horn and he took off running. It was a little scary but cool in the same way since I've never seen a bear in the wild before. Regards, Rollin
holy crap... And I thought road gators were the most I had to fear... now we got friggin' Pooh, Smokey and the Berenstein crew stalkin' the highway too? HELL... (I wonder if they make bear whistles...)
Coming across Ontario earlier this year, I came upon bears twice. Both were cows with cubs. I stopped for the first one. Then the thought occurred to me that momma bears will fiercely defend their cubs. So I kept on riding when I came upon the second one. Those little cubs are cuties, though. The momma bears not so much. A local told me that they come out onto the roads to try to get away from the gawd-awful insects. I never saw so many mosquitoes in my life. I stopped at one point to put on my rain gear, and they swarmed all over me in an instant. Have I digressed enough yet? Do I need to post an "off topic" icon?
