So if you spend enough time in the outdoors, you are bound to eventually come across a bear. I know from experience it can be a pretty scary experience.
If you have come across a bear how did you/it react. What did you do?
Personally this summer I came across 5 grizzly bears and one black bear. The largest one was huge, we scoped him out from a helicopter later and estimated over 1000pounds. This was by far the scariest encounter as well because he followed me for quite some distance and had little fear. I ended up walking about 500m uphill while talking to him in an attempt to make distance. I ended up at a tree that I was ready to climb, but thankfully there was a helicopter in the area and it chased him off.
Most other bears I came across I either yelled at/shot bangers or retreated and found they did not follow me with as much interest.
I have a few pics I took. These are both different bears I came across. Neither are the big one though, I took pics of him but can't find them. Still they were pretty sizable the one was probably over 700 pounds
