Personally I think it's great that the brown bears are making a comeback, although like you, I wouldn't want to come face to face with one.

I just hope that we don't hear of any more horrible stories of shootings, poisoning and such like.

I'm glad to hear that numbers are on the increase. It is most important to protect the bears and I would add the wolves to the list.

..... and disappearing Brits! (see other thread):eeeek:
