You need to read these books,
This review is from: Bear Attacks 2 Myth & Reality (Paperback)
This is the third book in a series by this author -- these books represent the absolute best information on bear attack survival available anywhere. If you spend any time in bear country, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to read these books. I have a set at home and a set in my cabin in the Colorado Rockies for guests. The black bear population in the mountains within 40 miles of Denver is increasing. They are not cuddly.

Bear Attacks II Review,
By
This review is from: Bear Attacks 2 Myth & Reality (Paperback)
First of all I want to say you have GOT to get all three of Shelton's books. They compliment each other quite nicely. These books outline in no uncertain terms the risks and myths of bear encounters. If you are going into bear country you NEED to read these books. They are written by a man who has lived and worked with bears and gives lectures to government employees and others who work in bear country. He know what he is talking about. You need some kind of protection, bear spray at the minimum. He tells you how to use it and when. The biggest myth about bears is that black bears are timid! WRONG! READ THE BOOKS!

Bear Encounters: Riveting Realities!,
By MXS (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bear Attacks 2 Myth & Reality (Paperback)
The best writers, it has been suggested, do not "tell" you the Truth, instead they "show" you the truth. The reason is that "demonstrated" Truth is seen more independently and to a greater degree is free from the author's bias or incompetence, and therefore gives you a clearer understanding of things.So it is in the case of this very fine book on bears, which demonstrates the Truth ever so logically and objectively and also honors bears as the magnificent creatures they are. While Mr. Shelton may never win any awards for purely literary achievement (at least not by the sanctimonious standards by which such awards are made), he does understand bears. And this book has a ring of truth more clear, more profound and more consistent, than most books I've ever read. I reviewed one of Mr. Shelton's other books "Bear Attacks: the Deadly Truth" and many things which are true about that book are true about this one. One is that not everybody will appreciate everything Mr. Shelton writes. In particular, people who cannot face the reality that bears are NOT our cute and furry "friends" but can be vicious, cunning and extremely dangerous, may not like reading about it. Another is that this book also clearly demonstrates the tragic consequences of the stupid idea that animals are more important than people, or that they have rights, (which, being incapable of making responsible, moral decisions respecting others' rights, they most certainly do not!) Particularly dangerous is the idea that people should not participate in the ancient and eternal relationship of "prey and predator," which is to say hunting. Hunting is a natural process and always has been. And both you and your children (not to mention livestock and pets) are always safer in bear country where responsible, controlled hunting is permitted. Written in a style similar to his other books, this book is easy to read, informative and highly entertaining. And it is Truthful! A must read for anyone venturing into bear country or interested in bears.
