Rack One’s IGNITE whitetail hunting system is comprised of four phases

and five products. In the Hunt phase, Rut Fuel and Acorn Crush are the

premium attractants that bring the deer to the foot of your stand. In the

Condition phase, Overload is the post-season calorie-consumption feed

that helps your bucks recover from the strenuous schedule of fighting,

chasing and breeding. In the Grow phase, Xcellerator is packed with

minerals and nutrients that promote herd health and maximizes antler

growth. In the Scout phase, Chaos is specifically formulated to drag those

elusive Booners right in front of your trail cams. Like the products

themselves, strong branding and distinctive packaging distinguish Rack

One from its competition.

Open House On DevelopmentOf Flagstaff Shooting RangeSEP 14, 2010 09:17P.M.

Open House On Development Of Flagstaff Shooting Range

Arizona Game and Fish Department

PHOENIX, AZ – -(Ammoland.com)- An open house about the

planning and development of the Northern Arizona Shooting Range will

be held on Thursday, Sept. 23 from 3-8 p.m. at the Arizona Game and

Fish Department’s Flagstaff regional office on 3500 S. Lake Mary Road.

“This open house will give the public a first look at some

conceptual designs of the range and a chance to make

suggestions on the designs,” said Jay Cook, chief of shooting

ranges for Game and Fish. “We will have staff on hand to help

with their questions and discuss the development timeframe

for this future community shooting range.”

This self-paced, informational open house will include preliminary

information from the baseline sound study conducted Aug. 26 and a map

of the locations measured. To address your questions, key Game and

Fish personnel and representatives from the Coconino National Forest

will be on hand; however, no formal presentation will be made.

For those who are unable to attend the open house, the same materials

and a way to submit your comments will be online at

www.azgfd.gov/nazsr beginning Sept. 23.

In July, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission purchased the 160-acre

Foster Ranch in Coconino County for establishing a local public shooting

range to serve surrounding communities’ law enforcement training,

hunter education, hunter sight in, and recreational/competitive shooting

of firearms and archery.

Cook added, “Flagstaff is one of Arizona’s largest

communities without a designated place for recreational

shooting. Providing a safe, designated range will reduce use

impacts to surrounding areas and provide an positive

economic benefit to the local communities.”

Game and Fish receives no tax dollars from the state’s general fund and

operates under a user-pay, user-benefit model. The property was

purchased and will be developed through the sale of licenses to hunters

and anglers. A $3 surcharge is imposed on hunting and fishing licenses

to acquire, construct, renovate, or improve Game and Fish facilities. The

fund for the development of the Northern Arizona Shooting Range was

established beginning in 2001.

Shooting Range e-mailed to them by subscribing at

Advanced Tactical Training –Lessons Learned Part 5SEP 14, 2010 09:12P.M.

Advanced Tactical Training – Lessons Learned Part 5

By Philip Van Cleave

Virginia Citizens Defense League

Covington VA - -(Ammoland.com)- This is the fifth and final

installment of some force-on-force training that I took earlier this year at

Practical Firearms Training (PFT) earlier this year. It is long, but I think

you will find this to be one of the most interesting of the scenarios.

In this scenario, we are playing a group of gun owners standing outside a

K-12 school who, upon hearing shots fired in the school and with no

police anywhere to be found, decide to go in and stop the active shooter

immediately before he kills more children. The shooter would be using a

real semi-automatic AK-47 style gun with dummy rounds and we were

not using any hearing protection, so the shots would sound real.

The gun owners were to form an ad hoc three-person team, with one

person leading the way (the team leader) and covering the team from the

front. The other two people are behind and on either side of the team

leader in a triangle formation. The two trailing persons cover their side

of the hall, as well as keep an eye behind the team for any danger from

the rear.

TEAM ONE’S TALE

I was on the rear right-side of my team initially.

Upon entering the school on the first floor (which in reality is a

decommission school to be demolished in the not too distant future), our

team heard shots that were coming from the 3rd floor.

Our mission was to go toward the shots and stop the shooter as fast as

possible, our mission did NOT include clearing the entire building. Thus,

we immediately began to climb the steps up to the second floor.

So far, so good.

Next we began climbing the steps up to the landing between the second

and third floors. As soon as we started up those stairs, someone with a

rifle opened fire on us from the top of the third floor stairs.

We returned fire from the minimal cover that we had from the balcony

above us. The team leader’s paintball gun jammed on him while he was

attempting to return fire. Cursing, he stepped back into cover on the

second floor stairwell to try and fix his gun. Realizing he was out of

commission for now, I automatically took over as team leader and the

remaining team member and I started up the stairwell again to the

landing between the two floors.

The shooter had moved and was no longer visible.

Since I arrived first at the top of the landing between the second and

third floors, I provided cover as my teammate came up to the landing

from the second floor.

Still quiet.

All of a sudden a figure comes running down the stairs!

I quickly realized it was a “teacher” and moved my muzzle off him.

My concern focused on the 3rd floor landing behind him as he ran down

those stairs. If the shooter were to pop up now, he would be able to shoot

the unarmed, fleeing teacher in the back! I locked my gun on that third

floor landing, ready to open fire if the bad guy showed up.

As the teacher approached me, he was saying something, but I was still

highly focused on getting him past us and on his way down the last two

flights of stairs and out of the building that really I didn’t listen to what

he was saying.

That was going to be a very costly mistake.

More shots range out on what sounded like the far side of the third floor

and my teammate and I ran up the stairs, stopping on the third floor

landing.

More shots! Damn they are loud!

I peeked out of the landing door and noticed that there was a door to my

left, another across the hall, one to my immediate right.

I paused – I had no idea if a bad guy might be in on of those rooms, but I

didn’t think we had more than one shooter.

We simply could not take the time to clear all these rooms (slicing the

pie) while an active shooter was taking innocent lives! The shots were

down the hall, so I decided to proceed.

Gun out in front of me, I started walking by the door of the classroom on

my right side, looking down the hall toward where I thought the shooter

was located.

POP, POP, POP, POP, POP!!!

I felt the paintballs hitting the right side of my head and on my neck.

Through the blur of the paintball paint over my right eye, I could see

there indeed was a SECOND bad guy, this one with an AR-15 style

paintball gun standing in the back of the classroom on my right.

I did not even attempt to return fire, because, in honesty, for me it was

was over. Those shots most would certainly have been fatal.

ANALYSIS OF MY EXPERIENCE

What I learned about going after an active shooter when you are going by

uncleared rooms is very simple: MOVE FAST! And keep MOVING FAST!

My mistake was WALKING by a door with an unknown active shooter

hiding in the room. I ASSUMED that there wasn’t a second bad guy and I

paid the price. Had I run past that room and ran down the hall towards

the sounds of the active shooter, I probably would not have been shot by

the second bad guy, as he would have had almost no time to react when

he saw me flash by the door.

A moving target is harder to hit and I should have taken advantage of

that.

There was another key mistake I made: I didn’t listen to the “teacher”

fleeing the active shooter in the stairwell. What he was trying to tell me

as he rushed by was that there was a SECOND shooter!!! By missing that

key piece of intelligence and by assuming that there was only one

shooter, I paid the ultimate price.

TEAM TWO’S TALE – A VERY DIFFERENT STORY

Board member Dennis O’Connor was on the next team. Dennis’ team

formed on the other side of the building and entered by that stairwell.

Dennis took the lead position and got his team moving. One person

covered the stairwell, while another person raced to the second floor.

Then that person watched the stairwell as the other two team members

raced to the second floor. A team member then watched the stairwell as

one of the team members raced to the landing between the second and

third floors. That person then watched the third floor for any shooters as

the other two team members raced to the landing. Finally, two members

raced to the third floor with one person on the landing continuing to

provide cover. That person them joined the team on the third floor.

Dennis immediately stepped into the hall where he had been hearing

shots and, lo and behold, there was the bad guy with the AK with his

back turned toward Dennis and his team!

Dennis opened up on the bad guy, who didn’t have a chance to return

fire. No one on Dennis’ team was even shot at.

(During Dennis’ scenario, upon hearing shots in the hall outside of my

“classroom,” my “class” scattered. I chose to hide in a closet, holding the

door so it could not be opened easily should someone try to open it. This

was a so-so choice, as either shooter could have just killed me by

shooting through that door had they found out I was inside. Hiding

unarmed was a horrible experience. I’ll take a fighting chance any

day!)

ANALYSIS OF DENNIS’ EXPERIENCE

Dennis’ team was so successful because they moved much faster than the

bad guy was expecting them to, catching him by surprise. Moving quickly

past unsecured areas would also have minimized the chances of being

shot, as I learned the hard way earlier. Being indecisive and hesitating

unnecessarily can get you killed.

NOTES FROM A FEW OTHER SCENARIOS

There were a couple of other scenarios that I wanted to note:

One a person with a mentally handicapped son comes into a government

office, the son gets very upset and anxious. At one point he walks out and

comes back with an AR-15. He wasn’t threatening anybody with, but was

holding it. I was unarmed in that scenario and took the valid choice of

exiting the room the first chance I had. I watched from another room as

the scenario played out. In the end the two armed citizens talked the son

into putting down the gun and the whole thing ended without a shot

fired and no one hurt in any way. Well done – I was proud of how the

armed citizens defused the situation and didn’t have to resort to deadly

force.

In another scenario an undercover police officer comes into a waiting

room and tries to arrest a criminal. The officer and criminal are

grappling for the officer’s gun. Dennis, who was unarmed, jumped in to

help the officer and got the gun out of the hands of the bad guy. I think

this surprised the PFT folks and goofed up their plan on how they

envisioned the scenario going down. Anyway the officer somehow loses

the gun again to the bad guy and one of the armed citizens stepped up

and shot the bad guy repeatedly to stop him. Dennis, who was standing

sort of behind the bad guy as he was getting shot, let go of him and

backed off, trying to get out of the way of the shots. Final score: good

guys – 1, bad guy – 0.

Practical Firearms Training

FINAL THOUGHTS

Keep in mind that these scenarios involved HIGHLY trained individuals,

playing the rolls of both the good and bad guys. In a street encounter, an

armed citizen is unlike to have to do battle with someone with this much

training. Surviving a gun fight in this training session, accordingly, was

not a walk in the park, by any means.

Joe Schmo gang banger could always get lucky or get the drop on you,

but he just isn’t going to have any training and that will give a strong

advantage to the gun owner who does have training.

And for the 3rd and 4th scenarios, where I was killed/wounded,

respectively, my opponent, who was playing the part of the good guy in

his mind, was victorious, defeating the bad guy (me).

I learned a lot and hopefully will do better on some of these scenarios the

next time.

About our charities:

The Lewis County Libraries and Reading Centers have lost much of their

state and county funding. Because of the funding cuts, many libraries

have had to reduce their open hours. Some libraries and reading centers

cannot purchase new books, magazines and barely have funding to pay

overall operating expenses. By giving the children of our community

educational and reading material, we are helping to grow our future.

Hospice of Lewis County is an organization that assists those on the final

journey in life. Many people don’t realize the physical and emotional

support that Hospice offers and how important Hospice is until their

lives are touched by death. The purpose of Hospice care is to enable

individuals to be cared for at home, receiving relief from pain and other

symptoms, in the place where they are most comfortable. Hospice

provides support and encouragement so patients and families can live

life as fully as possible. With Hospice funding being limited, many

patient and caregiver programs have been cut. Otis is asking for your

support to helps these patients and families live their last days more

comfortably.

Third Year Of Falling CrimeProves Gun Grabbers WrongSEP 14, 2010 06:03P.M.

Third Year Of Falling Crime Proves Gun Grabbers Wrong

Again

CCRKBA.org

BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- For the third straight year,

violent crime has declined in all categories while gun sales climbed.

Gun ownership expanded and more citizens are carrying firearms for

personal protection; proof positive that gun prohibitionists have been

consistently and undeniably wrong, the Citizens Committee for the Right

to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

The FBI released its 2009 report on Crime in the United States, showing

that murder declined 7.3 percent, robberies fell 8 percent, aggravated

assault dropped by 4.2 percent and forcible rape has declined 2.6

percent. Meanwhile, the National Shooting Sports Foundation notes that

gun sales in 2009 were up dramatically.

“What the data tells us is exactly the opposite of what the gun

ban lobby has predicted for several years,” said CCRKBA

Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Their dire predictions that

America’s streets would run red have been shown up as a

fraudulent sales pitch for public disarmament.

“No matter how gun prohibitionists try to spin this,” he

continued, “the bottom line is that they have been

consistently and demonstrably wrong, and they know it.”

“On the other hand, gun rights organizations have been

consistently right when we argued that increased gun

ownership would not lead to higher crime rates, and might

even have a deterrent effect, because even property crimes

are down, according to this year’s report.”

Gottlieb is co-author of America Fights Back: Armed Self-Defense in a

Violent Age and Assault on Weapons: The Campaign to Eliminate Your

Guns.

“America has turned a corner on crime,” he observed, “and it

is time to turn our backs on the failed liberal gun control

agenda. Their gun ban policies were wrong and the courts

have said so. Their gun prohibitionist philosophy has clearly

proven itself bankrupt, and for the third consecutive year, the

FBI data says so.”

With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the

Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is one of the

nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization,

the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms

through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots

organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the

United States. The Citizens Committee can be reached by phone at (425)

454-4911, on the Internet at www.ccrkba.org or by email to

[email protected].

West Virgina’s Tygart LakeState Park Offers Discounts forHuntersSEP 14, 2010 03:16P.M.

West Virgina’s Tygart Lake State Park Offers Discounts for

Hunters and Anglers

West Virginia DNR

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. – -(Ammoland.com)- GRAFTON,

W.Va. – Tygart Lake State Park, near Grafton in Taylor County, is

offering special hunting and fishing discounts beginning in October.

Hunting is not permitted on state park property, but Tygart Lake is

situated near two wildlife management areas that offer hunting

opportunities.

“If you like trout fishing or big game hunting, the lodge and

restaurant at Tygart Lake can be the base camp and way more

comfortable than camping, but, of course, camping is also an

option at our campground,” said Acting Supt. Brennon

O’Sullivan.

Two rate packages are offered at Tygart Lake this autumn that cater to

trout anglers and white-tailed deer hunters.

Deer Hunting Offers

Much like the trout offer, hunters may opt for the comforts of Tygart

Lodge and restaurant service. During archery season, which opens Oct.

16, and deer-rifle season, which opens Nov. 22, hunters staying at Tygart

Lake Lodge with a current W.Va. Hunting License receive 50 percent off

each consecutive night’s stay after the first and second night stay at

regular rates, and the 30 percent discount on restaurant services offer.

Two wildlife management areas are near Tygart Lake Lodge with good

hunting opportunities. Pruntytown State Farm offers 1,764 acres with

moderate slopes to gently rolling hills which are dominated by hay fields,

pasture fields and scattered wood lots. Pleasant Creek Wildlife

Management Area offers 3030 acres with a mix of wetland and mixed

hardwood forest, slopes are moderately steep rising to 1,600 feet in

elevation.

Tygart Lake State Park is located in Taylor County near Grafton. The

park is open from mid-April through December and features a 20-room

lodge, 10 vacation cabins, 40-site campground, Tygart Lake and marina

operations, restaurant, picnicking, hiking trails and fishing. Known for

its comfortable accommodations and popular special events and

activities, Tygart is a hub for outdoor activities due to its proximity to

wildlife management areas, lake and water recreation, and area golf

courses.

“When possible, we create packages and events in response to

what our guests ask us about,” said O’Sullivan. “Our guests

enjoy coming here for fishing, hunting, golfing, and as a place

to get away for New Year’s Eve, holidays, vacations, and

group events.”

Anyone hunting or fishing in West Virginia must possess a valid hunting

or fishing license and observe state regulations. Licenses may be

purchased online at www.wvfish.com or www.wvhunt.com through the

W.Va. Division of Natural Resources or at any license agent.

GORE OPTIFADE Concealment Supports U.S. Military

Hunters

Announces Partnership with Freedom Hunters, “Hunt with Heroes”

Contest, Event at Fort Campbell.

GORE OPTIFADE Concealment Supports U.S. Military Hunters

W.L. Gore & Associates

Newark, DE –-(Ammoland.com)- W.L. Gore & Associates, a leading

manufacturer of advanced technology products including the GORE-

TEX brand, today announced new initiatives to support United States

military personnel who are dedicated hunters, including a partnership

with the non-profit organization Freedom Hunters, a nationwide “Hunt

with Heroes” contest and the OPTIFADE Basic Training event at Fort

Campbell Kentucky.

“We are pleased to honor the thousands of active duty

military members and veterans who are avid athlete-

hunters,” commented David Dillon, Hunting Category Leader

at Gore. “The men and women of our military benefit from

the comfort and protection of Gore technologies while in the

line of duty. We also want to encourage and support their

personal endeavors, and give those who hunt the best chance

of success in the field.”

GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the first-ever visual concealment

pattern based on animal vision. One of the experts who worked with

Gore to create the pattern is retired Army Lt. Col Timothy O’Neill.

Known as the “father of digital camouflage,” O’Neill invented the first

digital concealment pattern for the U.S. military and has created patterns

for many of the world’s armed forces.

Supporting Freedom Hunters and the “Hunt with Heroes” Contest

As part of its initiatives to honor U.S. troops, W.L. Gore & Associates will

provide financial support to Freedom Hunters, a program of the non-

profit American Military Family, Inc. that takes active duty and wounded

combat veterans on hunting excursions to relax and recuperate. Every

purchase of gear featuring GORE OPTIFADE Concealment between now

and December 31, 2010, will help to sponsor hunts for U.S. troops.

“We are thrilled to welcome GORE OPTIFADE Concealment

as a Freedom Hunters sponsor,” commented Anthony Pace,

President of Freedom Hunters.

“Gore shares our commitment to preserving outdoor

traditions and our hunting heritage, and honors the values we

uphold, including respect, sacrifice and freedom, service to

Freedom Hunters invite active duty military, combat veterans and

civilian hunters to enter the “Hunt with Heroes” contest. Two winners –

one service member and one civilian – will win an all-expenses paid big

game hunt, on which they will be joined by one of Gore’s accomplished

OPTIFADE Athletes. In addition, OPTIFADE retailer Cabela’s will

provide each winner with a $500 gift certificate to prepare for the hunt.

PA Game Commission OffersAdvice On Avoiding BearConflictsSEP 14, 2010 02:36P.M.

PA Game Commission Offers Advice On Avoiding Bear

Conflicts

A fed bear is a dead bear.

PA Game Commission Offers Advice On Avoiding Bear Conflicts

Pennsylvania Game Commission

Pennsylvania --(Ammoland.com)- With summer quickly slipping by,

many Pennsylvanians may have forgotten about problems caused by

black bears in the spring, when nuisance bear activity typically peaks.

However, black bear activity also tends to increase during the fall, and

Pennsylvania Game Commission officials remind homeowners that steps

taken now can minimize problems with bears during the next few weeks

and months.

Mark Ternent, Pennsylvania Game Commission black bear biologist,

noted that, as fall progresses, bears will begin to increase their food

intake to prepare for the upcoming denning season, which begins in mid-

to late-November. For some bears, the search for food may lead them

closer to people or homes.

Ternent offered suggestions on how to reduce the likelihood that your

property will attract bruins and how to best react when a bear is

encountered.

“Bear activity can increase during the fall as bears try to

consume as many calories as possible from any source they

can find in preparation for denning,” Ternent said. “As a

result, sightings of bears can increase, particularly if natural

nut and berry crops are below average.

“While Pennsylvania bears are mostly timid animals that

would sooner run than confront people, residents should

know a few things about how to react if they encounter a

bear, or better yet, how to avoid an encounter altogether by

reducing the likelihood of attracting bears in the first place.”

Ternent stressed there are no known records of a free-ranging

Pennsylvania black bear killing a human, and there have been fewer than

25 reported injuries resulting from black bear encounters during the past

10 years in the state. However, deaths caused by black bears have

occurred elsewhere in North America. Pennsylvania’s bear population

currently is estimated at 17,000 animals, and reports of problems

because people failed to keep food away from bears are not uncommon.

“When bears become habituated to getting food from people,

it can lead to conflicts, property damage and the possibility of

injury or eventual destruction of the bear,” Ternent said.

“Feeding wildlife, whether the activity is intended for birds or

deer, can draw bears into an area. Once bears become

habituated to an area where they find food, they will continue

to return, which is when the bear can become a real problem

for homeowners and neighbors.”

“Even more disturbing are the reports we receive about

people intentionally feeding bears to make them more visible

for viewing or photographing.”

Since March 2003, it has been illegal to intentionally feed bears in

Pennsylvania. Unintentional feeding of bears which results in nuisance

bear activity also can result in a written warning that, if ignored, may

lead to a citation and fine.

“We recognize that people enjoy viewing wildlife, and we are

not attempting to impact that activity,” Ternent said. “But, all

too often, complaints about bears can be traced back to

intentional or unintentional feeding. To protect the public, as

well as bears, we need to avoid the dangers of conditioning

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 13 (13 of 19), generated 2010-09-15 02:15:40.959657 on g1t0236.austin.hp.com, dpi=225

14

bears to finding food around homes. It would be irresponsible

to do otherwise.”

Ternent listed five recommendations to reduce the chances of

having a close encounter with a black bear on a homeowner’s

property:

• Play it smart. Do not feed wildlife. Food placed outside for

wildlife, such as corn for squirrels or deer, may attract bears.

Reconsider putting squash, pumpkins, corn stalks or other

Halloween or holiday decorations outside that also may attract

bears. Even bird feeders can become “bear magnets.” Tips for how

to safely feed birds for those in prime bear areas include: restrict

feeding season to when bears hibernate, which is primarily from

late November through late March; avoid foods that are

particularly attractive for bears, such as sunflower seeds,

hummingbird nectar mixes or suet; bring feeders inside at night or

suspend them from high crosswires; and temporarily remove

feeders for two weeks if visited by a bear. Encourage your

neighbors to do the same.

• Keep it clean. Don’t place garbage outside until pick-up day;

don’t throw table scraps out back for animals to eat; don’t add fruit

or vegetable wastes to your compost pile; and clean your barbecue

grill regularly. If you feed pets outdoors, consider placing food

dishes inside overnight.

• Keep your distance. If a bear shows up in your backyard, stay

calm. From a safe distance, shout at it like you would to chase an

unwanted dog. If the bear won’t leave, slowly retreat and call the

nearest Game Commission regional office or local police

department for assistance. Children should understand not to run,

approach or hide from a bear that wanders into the yard, but,

instead, to walk slowly back to the house.

• Eliminate temptation. Bears that visit your area are often

drawn there. Neighbors need to work together to reduce an area’s

appeal to bears. Ask area businesses to keep dumpsters closed and

bear-proofed (chained or locked shut).

• Check please! If your dog is barking, or cat is clawing at the door

to get in, try to determine what has alarmed your pet. But do it

cautiously, using outside lights to full advantage and from a safe

position, such as a porch or an upstairs window. All unrecognizable

outside noises and disturbances should be checked, but don’t do it

on foot with a flashlight. Black bears blend in too well with

nighttime surroundings providing the chance for a close encounter.

If bears have been sighted near your home, it is a good practice to

turn on a light and check the backyard before taking pets out at

night.

“Ideally, we want bears to pass by residential areas without

finding a food reward that would cause them to return and

become a problem,” Ternent said. “Capturing and moving

bears that have become habituated to humans is costly and

sometimes ineffective because they can return or continue

the same unwanted behavior where released. That is why

wildlife agencies tell people that a ‘fed bear is a dead bear.’”

Ternent noted that although bears are no strangers to Pennsylvanians,

bears are misunderstood by many.

“Bears should not be feared, nor should they be dismissed as

harmless, but they do need to be respected,” Ternent said.

He also advised:

• Stay Calm. If you see a bear and it hasn’t seen you, leave the area

calmly. Talk to the bear while moving away to help it discover your

presence. Choose a route that will not intersect with the bear if it is

moving.

• Get Back. If you have surprised a bear, slowly back away while

quietly talking. Face the bear, but avoid direct eye contact. Do not

turn and run; rapid movement may be perceived as danger to a

bear that is already feeling threatened. Avoid blocking the bear’s

only escape route and try to move away from any cubs you see or

hear. Do not attempt to climb a tree. A female bear can falsely

interpret this as an attempt to get at her cubs, even though the cubs

may be in a different tree.

• Pay Attention. If a bear is displaying signs of nervousness or

discomfort with your presence, such as pacing, swinging its head,

or popping its jaws, leave the area. Some bears may bluff charge to

within a few feet. If this occurs, stand your ground, wave your arms

wildly, and shout at the bear. Turning and running could elicit a

chase and you cannot outrun a bear. Bears that appear to be

stalking should be confronted and made aware of your willingness

to defend by waving your arms and yelling while you continue to

back away.

• Fight Back. If a bear attacks, fight back as you continue to leave

the area. Bears have been driven away with rocks, sticks,

binoculars, car keys, or even bare hands.

“Learning about bears and being aware of their habits is a

responsibility that comes with living in rural Pennsylvania or

recreating in the outdoors,” Ternent said.

Intelligent and curious, black bears are heavy and have short, powerful

legs. Adults usually weigh from 200 to 600 pounds, with rare individuals

weighing up to 800 pounds. An adult male normally weighs more than

an adult female, sometimes twice as much.

Bears may be on the move at anytime, but they’re usually most active

during evening and morning hours. Bears are omnivorous, eating almost

anything from berries, corn, acorns, beechnuts, or even grass to table

scraps, carrion, honey and insects.
