Ontario has a significant black bear population, and yet fatal attacks are quite rare when you consider the number of people working in the bush and canoe tripping. My understanding is that fatal attacks are committed by large, lone male bears who for some unclear reason develop a particularly predatory instinct. I have my doubts as to whether any axe would provide an adequate defence in such a case.
