U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-– On August 6, 2022, at about 1 p.m., a hiker In Jasper National Park was approached to within about 100 feet by a black bear. The animal reacted but did not run away, so the hiker shot again, according to Parks Canada. The individual, who is a resident of Alberta, is facing charges under the Canada National Parks Act. Unlike the general population of Canada, park wardens in Canada are armed as of 2009. Most black bear attacks are predatory, where they stalk individuals and attempt to see if they are suitable prey before they attack.
