    This reminds me of the advice I got while in Montana last year when we had an encounter with what we thought was a bear (it was dusk and quite simple to confuse a huge black dog with a bear, trust me on this!)
    When we got back to the lodge I got two pieces of advice when I mentioned we ran our butts off back to the car!
    The first was to stand still, the other was to walk backwards slowly. The two who offered the advice are now the first on my 'going fishin' in bear country' buddy list!

    I assume that is because it would be easier to outrun them while they are backing away slowly.
    Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.

    Ive always heard it is best to go fishing with someone slower than yourself.

    Elderly and overweight individuals should always be considered prime fishing partners when you venture into bear territory! 8T
