What size skirt do you wear?

I've encountered bares while fishing the beach at Sandy Hook, on the Delaware River at a couple of locations between the Water Gap and Hancock, NY, and once in Florida. Most of the bares were rather plump and didn't look like they could move too fast. I do recall a female bare that was a very fine specimen of her species.

Vance sparayed my dog from a moving mail truck one day, he was the US Postal Service version of Annie Oakley with a can of pepper spray. Vance was well known in these here parts, for luring a dog in with a milk bone then opening fire once they got in range.

When I was living in Hokkaido, Japan, everyone Japanese insisted I wear a bear bell when hiking. Granted, there are bear there and I did see evidence of their presence (scratches on trees, etc); I always felt sort of silly and quickly grew annoyed by the constant ringing. When a group of japanese hikers, who were generally 20 or so octogenarians, passed by the sound got to be downright maddening. I wondered if the ringing of these tiny bells were so annoying to the bear too, and that was why they were warded off.
On a side note, the only people I ever heard were attacked were ojisan vegetable hunters out right after the bears woke from their hibernation.

Some funny stuff...still don't know if it's legal or not...but very entertaining:rofl: I know whats gonna happen though... first time I go fishing at the Gap... a bear will rip me to pieces as soon as I get out of the car, and as I lay dying on the ground he'll smile and say..."that answer your question asshole?"

What Flytire posted on page one is accurate, you can carry one canister of .75 fl oz or less. Personally I think if that is your only defense, then just stay away from any bears, as .75 fl oz will just piss it off.

Anyone remember Corn Dog? How 'bout FishAlagnak? Ever wonder why they no longer post on NEFF?
Both eaten by bears while wading NJ trout streams. Get a big gun or die, it's really that simple!

I think it was Rusty's Pepper Spray Under Arm Deodorant that chased them away.

I have often wondered if a simple road flair would deter a bear. It gives off a flame, makes a hissing noise as it burns and give off a terrible sulfer smell. If things really get dangerous you could stick the flare in his face, hopefully it would never come to that. Does anyone think a flare might work as well as pepper spray ? I have also wondered about an air horn.

I have seen people use an air horn, rather than a flare I would think if you shot a roman candle out of your ass it would work better and keep the bruin at a greater distance.

The best way to look like a complete douche bag is to carry flares and air horns into the woods. As an added bonus, you can look like a pussy also, as you explain to the others you may run into that its to scare the bears away.

if you get chased just run downhill..i saw it on bugs bunny and the bear kept falling cause it was too fat..thats the best thing to do..if your on flat ground your fucked..playing dead wont work cause if its a male you will already be in the crouched position and all he will want is a little "whos ur daddy bitch" if you get my drift..good luck

Are all you fuckers serious...these are black bears..they eat sticks and berries, keep your pants zippered and you will be safe....
They will only bother you if you get between a mother and cubs, or a male bear and a pussy....So, if there are any male black bears around and you see a member of NEFF, get the fuck out of the area!!!!!!!!!

There has been one documented case of an unprovoked bear attack in NJ. A bear stalked and attacked a hiker in Waywayonda State Park. The hiker was a 90lb chick and she fought the bear off. Since the majority of you conerned seem to be women weighing more than 90lbs, I'd say your chances of survival are pretty good.
And I've accidentally come between mother and cub several times now (twice up in WayWay), and no attack ever came. Reaction was more like mild disinterest. Bitches.

Nice piece, I'm partial to Kimber myself. I like the classic 1911 style.
If your are in danger when encountering a black bear, it is best to find a hill that you can RUN DOWN HILL, the bear will only follow you a very short distance and stop.
They cannot run down hill.
If you can reach water that is waste deep. run in and start paddling down stream.
Bears do not understand padding and will freeze and watch.
Throwing rocks may only anger bears, unless you lob it from high above where they cannot see it coming down and striking them upon the body.
They do not know of picking up objections and hurling them, again confusing them, it your best defense.
It will mysify them and that will give you enough time to excape their smelling zone if you are up wind.
But you must remain calm the entire time you are making your excape, looking back or making eye contact will only lead them to continue their hunt and kill.
Just another word of caution:
April is their rut season and they will be on their migratory hybernation trials north from their wintering dens in the south.
Females walk the lower trailes while killer males watch fom above.
So if your see a bear, look up along the ridge line for a killer pack looking down upon you.

Or as you drive by curious on lookers scoping out a mother and her cubs.....roll down your window and bark like a dog...then drive off and watch as she mauls the citiots that stopped to watch.

The only thing left should be foot prints.
If you are that scared of a bear’s omnivorous nature, perhaps you should reconsider fly- fishing and take up a different hobby like needle point. I here it is very soothing for the mind and body. Or maybe you wussies should invest in a bear proof suit. It may be some what cumbersome to competently fish with the contraption on at first, but you know what they say “Practice makes perfect”.
