        <![CDATA[ 


With 15,000 bear encounters last year east of the Mississippi and the bear population doubling since &#39;86, places like Great Smokey Mountain National Park
and other great eastern fisheries are becoming  more dangerous to anglers. Other than fishing with a fat, slow friend what precautions can you take?

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ll take an encounter with a black bear any day over an encounter with a brown bear.
<br>
<br>
My odds in killing a black bear with a .44 are much higher than those of killing a brown bear, which are probably pretty slim.
<br>
<br>
Most of the black bears I have seen take off as soon as they spot you. I did read about one black bear that seemed to be stalking people. I think that bear was
destroyed by Fish &amp; Game. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We recently (3 nights ago) had a bear attack( or incident as the NC Wildlife Biologist called it ). It was in a residential area in Black Mtn, NC. (near
Asheville). It was reported that a mama bear and a cub wandered into a lady&#39;s driveway. Her dog, a 15 lb maltese, I believe, started barking and went
towards the bears. The lady ran out of the house towards this incident to try and rescue her dog. The mama bear took a swipe at the dog which resulted in no
injuries. She also pawed the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ A long time ago I read an article that speculated that most black bear attacks, especially those that result in severe injury or death, are carried out by
large, dominant boars that are either being predatory or dominant.  And that all the bear attack behavior that a human can perform won&#39;t matter one bit; if
you cannot elude him or kill him he will kill you.  That is food for thought as the bears expand their territory and lose some fear of humans that hunting used
to instill.  My only... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I spend an unconscionable amount of time alone up in the GSMNP, and had rather see a bear (or nice timber rattler) than catch a trout.  (Happily, it&#39;s not
usually an either/or.<img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif" alt="image">)  About the only &quot;precaution&quot; I take is trying to
avoid those situations where a bear might be surprised by my presence.  It&#39;s not often of course that you will sneak up on a bear--they&#39;ve good hearing
and a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Bears tend to be unpredictable and variable in their moods, and can easily become quite grumpy and irrascible if you disturb them. They are almost impossible
to control. They will eat any food that you leave out and can easily do harmful things or destroy your equipment. They crash about and disturb the fish. All in
all, they are a lot like old fishing pals except that they don&#39;t pass as much gas in the truck. So although we need our fishing pals and must adjust to
them, I suggest... ]]></description>
