From the Author:

I've been fascinated by black bears for a long time, and the more I learn about them, the more I respect them. They are truly intelligent and adaptable animals. I had been thinking about writing a book to educate the public about bears and bear hunting for years when a Michigan ballot referendum that would have banned a pair of popular bear hunting methods prompted me to do so.The 1st edition of this book was published in 1995. The referendum was on the state ballot in 1996 and it failed. I like to think that book had something to do with the outcome of that vote. When that edition sold out, I wrote an expanded 2nd edition with much more information, which remains popular today.One of the chapters in this book is about a pair of orphaned cubs my wife and I helped raise and return to the wild.
