Find it amusing when people have this murder machine/boogeyman perception of them. As if their sole purpose for being in the forest is being there to "get" you lol.
Obviously you don't want to be stupid when they do appear, and use recommended practices to not place yourself in a situation where the bear will be taken off guard by your presence, but..
Seems like another instance of the Jaws effect, where Hollywood has negatively impacted people's perceptions of a particular animal.
At this point I'm more wary of elk than bears.

It's not just bears to be worried about anymore, it's bears on cocaine.
