Other things to note BLACK BEARS There are black bears in Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. You may encounter one in the parking lot or on wooded hiking trails. DO NOT LEAVE ANY FOOD IN YOUR CAR OR ON THE PORCHES DO NOT LEAVE ANY PETS OUTSIDE UNATTENDED Bear Encounter Guidelines - If a bear approaches you, stay calm. - ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RUN (running may elicit a chase response in the bear). -Pick up small children so they don’t run, scream or panic. -Gather the group together and restrain your dog. -Let the bear know you are human; talk in a soothing voice; lift arms overhead to look bigger. -Slowly back away and avoid direct eye contact with the bear. If the bear lunges, snaps his jaws, slaps ground or brush with paw, he feels threatened -you are too close. Back up slowly without turning your back on the bear. The bear may also suddenly rush forward and stop as a “bluffing” tactic to intimidate you to leave; momentarily hold your ground, then keep backing away and talking softly. Don’t crowd the bear; leave him a clear escape route. Retreat from the area or make a very wide detour around the bear. If he continues to follow you, stand your ground and yell, clap your hands, wave your arms, or throw something toward him – repeat until he leaves. As a last resort – drop something like a hat to distract him but avoid tossing him food as he will quickly learn to confront other humans for food rewards. DO NOT FEED BEARS Feeding bears rewards them for coming into residential areas. Bears feeding on unnatural food sources around your home may lose their fear of humans and will be more likely to approach people – a situation that rarely ends well for the bear and could have potential safety issues for humans as well! REMOVE OR SECURE ALL POTENTIAL FOOD SOURCES Store garbage inside buildings or other areas that bears cannot get to. If the area is served by a garbage collection service, place garbage and recyclables out only during the day of collection. Purchase bear-proof garbage cans or bear-proof your existing garbage container by outfitting it with a secure latching system. DO NOT LEAVE PET FOOD OUT OVERNIGHT If pets are fed outside remove any excess food after the animals have finished eating. Never store pet food on a porch or in an open garage where a bear can get to into it. FRIGHTENING OR SCARING THE BEAR Shouting, clapping, blasting a car horn or motion sensitive lights may scare off a bear temporarily. Do not taunt a bear if it fails to respond to your efforts to frighten it. These methods are only temporary solutions. CROWD CONTROL Sometimes when a bear sighted, crowds may gather. This seemingly harmless situation can be aggravated or became potentially harmful as the crowd grows. People can cause bears to display unpredictable behavior. Law enforcement personnel should disperse crowds and allow the bear to exit without interference. https://rumblingbald.com/blog/bear-safety-at-rumbling-bald/ https://bearwise.org/bear-safety-tips/vacation-rentals-bears/ https://www.romanticasheville.com/bear_safety.htm
