Defense and home security for attacks Bear

In June of 2007 in Utah there was fatal bear attack. He was the first. An eleven years old, Samuel Ives, was killed by a black bear pulled him out of a tent outside the Timpooneke Campground in American Fork Canyon northeast of Provo, Utah.

Although these fatal attacks are rare, bear attacks are increasingly common as the population slowly invades the territory bear.

Almost every week we hear or see reports of bear encounters in urban areas near mountainous terrain. Near where surfing Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Colorado Springs et Al areas have become so common they are not even news.

The bears are mostly curious and driven by an acute sense of smell. For homeowners near mountainous areas or camping out in the wilderness keeping food wrapped and covered is a must for the odors do not attract bears.

There are several things homeowners and campers can do to protect themselves in case of a bear encounter.

Campers and homeowners who are at risk can arm themselves with bear pepper spray. If a man-bear confrontation occurs, pepper spray may be the best weapon to fend off a bear.

A local dealer was quoted as saying "I had a Fish and Game Warden from Alaska tell me that he would prefer a canister of pepper spray of a 0.44 Magnum. Was most effective."

Bear pepper spray is very powerful stuff. It burns the eyes and nose. Mucous membranes are very sensitive to it. Once used, leave the area immediately without waiting to see how the bear reacts.

Homeowners have an additional tool that works to scare the bears away. They do not like the sound of dogs barking ferociously.

People who are at risk, campers and homeowners who live near the mountain areas can protect themselves and their property from the threat of a bear attack.
