see this, what do?
>>2853653Turn 360 degrees and walk away
start talking in a baby voice and saying things like "awwww those are so cute" and walk over and try to pet the cubs
>>2853653See this where? While driving? Pull over and take pictures.While hiking in a different direction? Keep hiking.While hiking in their direction? Stop and wait.While camping? Make noise and try to scare them off. While floating? Keep floating.
>>2853653Tactically spin 360° and moonwalk away
>>2853655This
>>2853655Unironically the correct response
>>2853655>>2853674
>>2853663>>2853655if you 360 you'll just proceed towards the bear though
>>2853715newfag
>>2853715Yes. I prefer the bear over my girlfriend.
>>2853653throw my poop at them
>>2853653shoot 4 times
>>2853653Walk over and grab the middle one as that's the cutest.
>>2853653I was hiking to picrel but the bridge was washed out and we didnt want to do a chest deep water crossing so we walked around a lake, which turned out to be a marshy fucking mess but whatever. Cross a fallen log further upstream and 2 minutes later there was a big, raggedy looking bear just walking through the forest maybe 20 feet in front of me. He did not care about my presence, didnt even look at me. Honestly I felt invalidated. Did I smell? Did I not look meaty enough? Fucking prude.
>>2853653Bears have never seen me as a threat to them, though some have been shy and run away when they noticed me. I nearly always hear them before I see them. It's ironic how cityfags are so fearful of bears when their urban environment is full of vicious nasty humans who are much more of a threat than any bear.
in my country, 3 people have died by bear attacks in the last 120 years. they'd run before i even see them
>>2853754honestly almost every bear I've ever seen genuinely didn't show any sign of giving a fuck about me. i guess that's a good thing but it was always a slap in the face a bit
>>2853653walk awayu to be safe. At thist distance you're lucky. Just go
>>2853653Charge towards them with my weapon of choice, ready to spray upon the first sign of counter-aggression
>>2853754unless you spook a bear majority of the time they want nothing to do with you. Bears do not actively hunt humans. It's only in cases where bears are starving or have been accustomed to humans to lose their fear of them that they would. That's why you're not supposed to feed wild animals in general.
>>2853754>Honestly I felt invalidated.You have a fragile ego.
Shoot and eat the mother, adopt the cubs as my own
