Here in California the Bears would be the least of your worries. The two legged vermin that tend to occupy our forests and deserts are much more likely to cause problems than the relatively small Black Bears we have here in Southern CA.
I have seen two bears here in my life. One was a Cinnamon one that saw us and took off for Kern County and the other was in our back yard and left a big dump in the middle. It was just a young one and I think it was lost as it was way deep in town.
Neither one of these animals was a threat of any kind. Neither one was even 100 lbs.
However, Latino Types in the back country here tend to either be Drug Farming or just feelin' Froggy, and they have to be watched very closely. I try to avoid them at all cost, but I also I have my G23 or G21 on the belt and I usually have my Kel-Tec SU16 in the top of my back pack, or handy on the Roll Bar of the Jeep. All of my Jeep friends are well armed when we go out and if necessary we can deal with those types of threats with no lack of firepower. Luckily I haven't had to confront evil alone, but we have ran into a couple of pretty scary situations in the deep desert while Jeeping and were able to avoid confrontation by just turning around and hauling arse.
When people get that far away from civilization they tend to think nobody is watching and they can do whatever they want. I actually heard some Mexican Kids at Glammis talking about killing some white kid because he looked at them wrong.
I would caution all of you that this threat is NOT going away anytime soon and these people come from a place which has little regard for Human Life. If confronted you should really think about Shooting first and asking questions later. They most likely will. Try watching "Queen of the South" on TV and see how the Cartels operate. If you pose the slightest risk to them they will kill you in a heartbeat.
I was in Mexico for our Honeymoon 27 years ago and haven't been back, we were n Cabo and I didn't feel even slightly comfortable there. The place is not safe and you white boys are a target. The fact that only criminals have guns there should speak loudly as to what is going on there.
The fact that one party in our government wants them all to come here is pretty depressing really.

Do you still hunt D8?
