Kay Grayson was by no means a conventional woman. After leading a wild life living on boats and training attack dogs, she settled in North Carolina where she fell in love with black bears. Kay took her love of bears farther than most, by feeding the bears and allowing them to live in her trailer with her. But when she's found dead one day, authorities are left to wonder if the bears she loved so much caused her demise.

When is it time to scare them off, and when is it time to back off? Should you really fight black bears back, and play dead with a grizzly? What are the best practices while camping in bear country? Bear expert Daryl Ratajczak is on this week to answer all these questions for us and more. 

Daryl has years of experience in rehabbing black bears, working as a wildlife biologist for the state of Tennessee, and giving educational talks and programs about bears through his company Wildlife For You. You can follow Wildlife For You on Facebook here.
