My wife and were discussing how easy it would be to be hit from behind or on a charge out of the brush. At time's you can't just stand around with a loaded weapon when there is work to be done. I have been way to close to too many bears,,I just call it luck. We have a brown bear in the neighborhoor that only comes around when it's the darkest time possible,,our Karelians have kept him out of the yard so far!
