Dinner bell?----KV
Don’t ever try sneaking up on a bear—grizzly, Black, polar, or brown. Knowing is half the battle.
In the Southeast US, I'm not very concerned about encountering a black bear. In fact, I tend to hope that I do see one in the woods. Just don't want them too close. Every now and then, I am very close or under 20 yds from a black bear. It's a photo opp for me. Black bears will scavenge a body if you die in the woods. I always enjoy the bear threads for entertainment mostly.... And there is documentation of black bears killing and feeding on people here in Saskatchewan. I follow these threads sometimes simply because I don't want to be attacked and try to gather a common sense consensus to get me home in one piece.

Just read a story about a guy in New Mexico who was attacked by a brown bear. His dogs were running it and had it "treed". The bear attacked. He shot with a Glock 20 (10mm) but didn't really have the proper ammunition loaded in the gun for the event. He was with others who I believe called for help immediately and they helicoptered him out of there afterwards.
I figured it was a brown phase Black Bear. I knew there weren't any grizzlies in New Mexico. I feel certain there may have been extenuating circumstances and in most cases, it was the human's fault.It was a normal black bear, on a ranch just a few miles outside of town here.
We don't have brown bears / grizzlies in New Mexico, but the black bears here do come in all different colors. Blonde, dark black, brown, cinnamon...
Black bear attacks are extremely rare and I've heard some extenuating circumstances as to why that bear attacked. One of the factors, as told in your version of the story, his dogs may have been harassing and terrorizing the bear.
Another possible factor, as heard in some local versions of the story, the bear had been hanging around the ranch house for a while and getting food there.
