I read that in bullfighting, one of the relatively safer places to be is right up next to the bull, inside of its turning radius where it can't get you.
In an encounter with a bear/moose/etc, how feasible would it be to position yourself behind a tree, 180° from it? Assuming the tree is thick enough where it couldn't just knock it over, and allows you to fully hide behind it. The only way for it to get to you is to circle around the tree, in the meantime you circle around it and keep yourself at 180° from it.
It'll take time for it to move around the tree, so if they're slower/faster than a human, it might be feasible to always keep the tree in between.
Then it might just be a matter of stamina/interest/attention until it gives up or tires out.
What do you think is the feasibility of this?
To what extent do you think this could work?
What animals might it be effective towards?
