Thanks Vince. I pretty much have respect for any bear in the woods. I have never had a bad experience with one, and I strive to keep it that way. This one never did see or smell us, though he got within 40 yards of us. I was pretty happy when he turned and went the other direction from us. He was out rooting and basically worked his way up to us.

I do have to agree. Snakes and such some of my least favorite critters to encounter. This young bear is probably a little grumpy and hungry, since now he has to fend for himself.

Ah yes...Gorse...Know it well. Grows profusely on the Oregon Coast, mostly in Bandon, Oregon.
Years ago my grandmother was having problems with kids taking shortcuts across her flower beds when she lived in Salem, Oregon. My brother planted gorse along the the sidewalk next to her flower beds. After a few flat tires the shortcutting stop.
Build a fence? Nawww...My brother and I have evil minds and a bit sadistic to boot.

I don't care how old the bear is I steer clear. Had two encounters was lucky both times, never have a gun when you need one.
