Detailing on the do’s and don’ts, Emerson explained, “In case of a close encounter, make yourself appear larger by waving your arms and create a commotion. Such actions can cause hesitation in the bear or even make it retreat.

But if the bear starts to run toward you, be prepared with your bear spray and use it when the bear is about 40 feet away. If you have a gun, aim it under the bear’s chin. This is what you should do to defend yourself and scare the bear away if it gets too close. Be sure to know how to use your tools to stay safe around bears.
