Bear Encounter Survival Guide

Summary: Working With Gary Shelton
Review: I have read both of Garys's Books AND I have taken both the class roon and rifle range instruction. I have had the classroom Instruction twice , unfortunatly the range instruction is no longer available. Both of his books form the basis of his lectures. It is now compulsory training with the forestry, WCB, BC Gass and Fisheries and Oceans.His books should be concidered TEXT BOOKS. Well written easy to understand and without ANY embelishments of the facts and occurences. As presented it is the true story of the present conditions of bear behavior . For those of us who have worked in bear country and used Gary's books as a study, the knowledge immparted becomes next to instinctive when an encounter happens. Having had hundreds of encounters while counting Spawning salomn in wild rivers, I have been able to avoid any serious agressive confrontations. There have been encounters where it was necesssary to take a defencive posture. Mr. Shelton's two books are, or should be manditory reading for any person tho uses " bear country" for recreation or work. To let you know a 3rd book is due out in May 2001 and a 4th is being contemplated.

Summary: Everyone should read this before going out into the wild!
Review: This guide is indispensible, not filled with the "man is always in the wrong" agenda that many authors shove into their bear books. This is filled with documented, acurate details on what to do if you are attacked by a bear, given the circumstances. Try Shelton's "Bear Attacks: The Deadly Truth.," which goes into more detail as to WHY bears attack.
