Index of Subjects <html> <body> This is not a surprise. Unless you are very stupid or prone to panic attacks, encountering a female with cubs is unsettling but not that dangerous. Usually you will find the cubs up a tree; the female will chase you so you run but a short distance does it. The sow is loathe to leave her cubs & is happy once you are out of her area. On the other hand I have been chased by rogue males a few times & the experience was unnerving to say the least. These have to be put down if found since these encounters were on well-used trails.<br> Angus<br> <br> At 11:17 AM 5/11/2011, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=2>We(I) have been led to believe that female bears with cubs are the danger to watch out for while hiking the back country.
