If you're lucky in Take 2.  Kinda reverse of the movies, this is where you want lots of takes.  Get it right, you  may have to do it again!

It is not true regardless of what internet nonsense you may have read.

No bear wants a fight, they want to be left alone.

Polar bears are dangerous and in very rare, specific circumstances some brown bears may consider you a food source, but they are not interested in slowly killing you or eating you alive. 🤭

As for black bears, they are about as dangerous as a racoon. The reason you rarely see them is that they are absolutely terrified of huge bipedal humans and will almost always run away well before you even knew they were there.

 

 

I ran into a habituated black bear just after sunset while I was by myself hiking in the Smokies one time. He followed me for 10-15 minutes until I finally turned around and went right at him. He took off at that point but he did have me ready to jam a hickory walking stick right down his snout. :blush:

 

 

 

Tell that to Leo DiCaprio.

A bear came a wedding shower at my in-law's house.  It walked right through the back yard (mountains of New Hampshire) while the party was inside.  I have a really crappy picture of it playing with the swing set.

I lived in Jackson Hole Wyoming for a year, hiked in Grand Teton National park and Yellowstone a bunch (as well as driving tours) and never saw one. Randomly had one run in front of my car in the Appalachians like a month after I got back. I’ve seen two others since then.
 

I also saw a dead one about 100 yards down the street from my house (roadkill)... had no idea we had them this close to my place.
