Wolfgang, and others: the PA department of bears, or whatever it's
called, says there is no record of a black bear (only kind we have)
EVER attacking a human bean in PA.

So I'm afraid your courage, and your caution, ( not necessarily in
that order) were wasted on that bear.

There's always a first time.{:-(

Any time you encounter a bear, or any other wild animal, that shows no
fear of
humans, it's best to give them a very wide berth.

(we actually have black bears here in Nova Scotia, and all the people who
say give them a wide berth are correct - just go the other way - with or
without your pants!)
