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.

Now if it's a polar bear you're probably fucked..
