>>1176337Rule number one is to stay out of National Parks, where hunting isn't allowed. Human acclimated bears are the worst. My friends and I had to deal with them in Yosemite for a week, once, a long time ago. Where I live now, I've seen bears a few times but they run off when they see you. That's because there is a hunting season for them, so they know they aren't top of the food chain. Same probably goes for big cats. Occasionally they nail someone's pet, when people live in the outskirts of town, and they let their dogs and cats out at night. Other than that, they are afraid of people.
