Here in my area of Kentucky, we have a growing black bear population. This has led to an increase in sightings and run-ins with bears. For many years now I have never carried a firearm while out in the mountains but that recently changed for me.

Over the last month, I have been out 4-6 times a week looking for ginseng. I enjoy the outdoors and I like digging the sought-after root and maybe I can make a few bucks at the end of the season. Well, about a week ago I was coming out of a place where I have been hunting ginseng and I passed another ATV going into the hollow. It is a guy I know and I later found out he had been hunting ginseng in this area as well. I later found out that while he was in there a bear charged him that same day. He was able to back up and fire off his pistol a few times to scare off the bear. He did report it and the Fish and Wildlife people came and set out a large trap for the bear but they never caught it.

On the day the bear charged the man, I encountered what I thought was a bear but I never could see it. I'm still hunting ginseng in the very area but now I have decided to pack my pistol with me. I have no intentions of shooting a bear unless it is absolutely necessary but firing off a few shots in the air or in the ground might stop a possible attack.

 With that said, I thought it might be a good idea to post about what to do to avoid a bear attack and what to do if a bear charges you.
 Here we go, with some tips. Remember, each person should weigh their situation and use their own judgments as to the appropriate actions to take.

   * Hike or hunt in a group if possible. If you go alone, like me, don't be so stealthy. Make some noise or do some singing. I personally have started to sing softly to myself but yet loud enough to give a bear a warning that someone is coming. This will give the bear time to move on.

   * If you see the bear at a good distance, back up slowly and/or find an alternative route.

   * If a black bear charges you, stand your ground and make some noise. Waving your arms is normally a good thing to do. Do not run! A bear can run around 30 mph, you can't outrun it. If the bear thinks you mean business, it may lose interest and move on.    

   * Carry Pepper spray. If a black bear charges you, pepper spray will normally make it change its mind and move on. If you carry a firearm you can shoot it in the air or ground and the loud bang might get the bear to move on.

   * If none of this works and the bear actually attacks you, then fight back. Use anything you can find, sticks, rocks, or your own hands. Hit the bear on the snout and near the eyes. The bear may decide it is not worth it and give up. If you still can't discourage the bear and it gets you down, ball up and clasp your interlocked fingers over the back of your neck and pull your elbows in next to your face. If you have a backpack on it will help absorb some of the blows. Hopefully, the bear will give up and move on. If, the bear gives up and moves on, lay there for 20 minutes or more before getting up, as sometimes bears are slow to move on and will keep watching you.   

Most bear attacks are defensive attacks, meaning the bear feels threatened by you, or is protecting cubs, or protecting a kill site or maybe you just startled it. In these cases, you can normally back away slowly and talk softly to let it know you are not a threat. Once the bear sees you are not a threat, it will move on. A predatory attack is even more serious, although much more rare for black bears. In this type of attack, a bear is stalking you and has the intention of using you for food. Playing dead is not a good idea and you must fight for your life.

The main thing is to be alert and keep an eye out for black bears. Avoid them if at all possible. Let others know where you will be hiking or hunting at and your expected return time. A black bear standing on its back legs only stands about 5 feet tall or less. But don't let that fool you, black bears can be very dangerous.

 Enjoy the woods and be safe!

I have heard and read of people calling Bigfoot a giant. I have heard and read many reports that described Bigfoot as being 10-12 feet tall. I also know of one report, I talked to the person myself, and he claimed that the Bigfoot he saw was 20 foot tall.

Bigfoot seems to always have ties to Native American culture. I recently was told about an unusual grave in my area. The small, almost hidden grave yard, is said to have about 10 or so graves in it. The odd thing is that one of the graves is extremely long and is said to contain a man 8 foot tall or more. The guy who told me this was taken there by his dad when he was a kid. His dad actually knew the giant man and stated he was part Indian. I know where this area is and have been there a many times but I was not looking for a grave yard. I plan on making a trip there soon and try to find the grave of the giant man. The head and foot stones are said to still be there.

Here is a very good documentary about Giants. It is well worth watching. Can we find clues in the film about Bigfoot?
 


So, I guess it is possible that Bigfoot has ties to giants from the past. Could Bigfoot be some kind of remaining strain of past giants or some kind of off shoot of the original giants?

There are many possibilities and theories to think about when we consider the origins of Bigfoot. It also appears that Bigfoot and Giants have ties to the Bible, could this be why there is a cover up of giant bones and Bigfoot?

Thanks
