Write Up:
Dan did a good job of debunking all the myths around bears and giving us the straight goods. He showed lots of pictures and videos showing bear behaviour and bear vocalizations. We learned the difference between defensive and predatory behaviour and what to do in each situation. We also learned that wolves, coyotes, foxes and cougars should always be considered as acting in a predatory manner. Thanks Dan for all the info and to everyone for coming out!
