Bears are just like big dumb dogs , i have met lots of bears on walks and the only bears that scared me were the Polar bears in Resolute and Grizzly bears in Toba inlet as they will hunt you and they look at you like their next meal . Black bears get annoyed if you are eating their berries . Black bears will get used to you and will ignore you after a while . Bears as a whole are non confrontational but will defend their territory and berry bushes .
