How aggressive are our native Florida Black Bears? I've been out hiking south of Tallahassee and have stumbled upon fresh tracks, but aside from one darting in front of me while driving my truck, I've never seen one out in the wild.
Any tips on what the general public should do if / when they encounter a Black Bear in the wild? Try and scare them off? Back away slowly, and head the other direction?
