The ...I would say it depends on the circumstances. The first time we met a bear while hiking it was my daughter and I, the guys were way back somewhere on the trail. We rounded a corner and saw the bear at the far end of the trail - he didn't see us so we backed up and went back to meet the guys. We then proceeded forward, making lots of noise. By that time the bear had moved off the trail and was eating berries nearby. Thankfully he was more interested in the berries than us. The second time the guys were in front and we were right behind. We heard rustling in the bushes just in front of us and thought a deer was going to come out. Instead it was a bear. Poor thing, he took one look at us and turned tail and headed the other way - while we turned tail and headed back in the opposite direction! I am not sure who's heart was beating harder - his or ours - lol. But I never take it for granted anymore that we won't encounter a bear!allisamazinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560127540410819011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813722777232839124.post-10002944372749324892013-10-31T18:35:10.549-06:002013-10-31T18:35:10.549-06:00So...tell me...what exactly do you do when you mee...So...tell me...what exactly do you do when you meet a bear while you are hiking? Are they afraid of humans? I've heard opposing views on that.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813722777232839124.post-92037075885715777282013-10-30T21:12:07.657-06:002013-10-30T21:12:07.657-06:00Thanks Dianna!!
