They are very curious animals. And their eyesight is very poor. I've been face to face four times. Twice while trail running, once mountain biking and once on my old three wheel ATV. When I was running, one ran away and the other just stared at me and didn't move. the mtn bike one was funny. Riding with a friend, we came around the corner and there he was,the bear ran like hell. I laughed and looked over to ask my friend "Did you see that?" but he was gone back in the other direction. LOL. I surprised the one on my ATV and it stood on it's hind legs. I've never turned around so quickly in my life. I spun the tires and got the hell out of there. He ran in the other direction.
