Prevention is far better than confrontation!

• Black bears are usually solitary animals
  that are most active at dusk and dawn.
• Black bears are omnivorous and will eat
  almost anything available, but their diets
  are composed mostly of vegetation.
• Black bears breed in late May and early
  June and the female gives birth to 1-3
  cubs between late December and early
  February.

Remember: A Fed Bear Is a Dead Bear.
