>>1383450Is this in a National Park or other area where bears are not hunted? To a wild animal, another animal, like a human, is either a threat to be avoided or a potential food source. Where bears are not hunted, they will test humans to see what they can scrounge up. The problem with places like National Parks is that, not only are the bears acclimated to humans, the humans which go to National Parks are usually incompetent campers, leaving their food and trash out where animals can scavenge. Once a bear finds easy pickings amongst humans, it will repeatedly return until rangers finally trap it and kill it. No, they don't move the bear somewhere else a hundred miles away, because the bear will come back.
The solution to OP's problem is to never camp in places like that. Designations like "National Park" and "Wilderness" attract hoards of nature loving humans to despoil the place with garbage and so forth, altering animal behavior. Where I live now, I camp in National Forests or BLM land. The only times I've seen bears they run off like frightened rabbits. That's because we have a bear hunting season, and humans equal death, so the bears stay away.
I fucking hate National Parks. Been there, done that. Pic related.
