I have killed a couple of bears and helped track a few that were wounded by other hunters. I was on my hands and knees following a blood trail through a cedar swamp and when I looked up the wounded bear(by a bow hunter who was color blind and could not see the blood)was about 15 feet away from me just laying there looking at me with its front paws crossed like it hadn't a care in the world. I shot the bear but I always wonder what would have happened if I had not looked up. The bear was only slightly wounded by the arrow and didn't seem too concerned about me at all.Almost all bears want to avoid us but the ones that don't will change your mind about their danger to mankind.
Bears are just like people. Most will allow you to go on your own way but every once in awhile you run into a Jeffry Dahmer or a Ted Bundy.
