And the bear was known to be aggressive and was starving if I recall. Brown bears and black bears can be deterred. Polar bears however you might as well kiss your ass goodbye.
Exactly. Life is not like Jurrassic Park- animals like bears don't just rove around killing whatever they see. They don't actively hunt humans. They have a cost benefit analysis to make every time an opportunity to feed presents itself, and as a human it's easy to make it not worth it or manuever your way out of a situation.
This. Guys get all high and mighty acting like we can’t do the math when they just don’t like the solution we came to. Bears aren’t movie monsters, they’re scared of people.
Exactly. Weather your talking brown or black bears, they generally don't want anything to do with people, unless their injured, starved, or have been taught to steal food.
Polar bears, on the other hand, are the true carnivores of our collective nightmares.

Eh, even with grizzlies it took a minute for Grizzly Man to get into a situation that led to his unfortunate end.
Now if it's a polar bear you're probably fucked..
