What should you do if you encounter a bear while hunting?

  1. Try to scare it away by shouting

  2. Attempt to feed it

  3. Slowly back away, speak in a calm tone

  4. Immediately shoot it

The correct answer is: Slowly back away, speak in a calm tone

When encountering a bear while hunting, it is crucial to remain calm and avoid sudden movements or loud noises that may startle the bear. Option C, slowly backing away while speaking in a calm tone, is the most appropriate course of action. This approach allows you to show the bear that you are not a threat and gives it the opportunity to move away without feeling cornered or provoked. It is important to remember that bears are generally more afraid of humans than humans are of them, and they will often choose to avoid confrontation if given the chance.
