What a weird thread this is...
I had a run in with a bear when I was about 11 in Radium, fishing in a creek alone just outside the campground we were staying at.
Grizzly essentially walked up within 10 yards of me and then stood up on 2 legs from within some tall grass across the creek. Young stupid me panicked and back up about 5 feet then ran towards the campsite. Fortunately he followed (slowly) for about 15-20 yards and then lost interest.
Needless to say I've been scared of bears ever since then.
I'll avoid any chance of confrontation at all costs.
But I dont want them dead... that's for sure.
