From the Back Cover

The incursion of bears - both black and grizzly - at backyard feeders and garbage cans in rural and suburban North America is becoming a common occurrence. What might seem like a novelty at first quickly becomes a dangerous nuisance for homeowners and their children and pets. Gary Brown outlines effective ways to avoid visitations by bears and provides guidelines to safely negotiate an encounter. Outwitting Bears will show you: how to identify and remove bear attractants; how to respond to a habituated bear; how to safeguard children and pets in bear country; solutions to nuisance bears and deterrents that work; advice on hiking, fishing, and recreating in bear country; how to avoid a bear encounter; how to survive a bear attack; and more. (51/2 X 81/4, 224 pages, b&w photos)
