When camping with a group, always have one man stand watch throughout the night, if a bear comes knocking he'll want to go crazy on your food bags, not on your mortal body. During the day when you are moving and by default making a lot of noise, you'll have less chance of encountering bears.
If you are being stalked by a bear, drop an apple or some food from your pack. This is the only case when you should feed a bear. To make it give up his stalking and remain distracted by the meal. They are not picky eaters, I've heard stories of bears cracking open metal boxes of ground coffee.
If you are rich enough and willing to go through the rabbit hole of bureaucracy and legislation, get a firearm permit and a gun.
