I spend a lot of time in the north woods and have seen lots of bears over the years. Most recently in the middle of a lake road feasting on the contents of a garbage can it had dragged and tipped. It was a sub adult and very cute, especially when it left the food and hid behind a tree and peeked around at me. It eventually moved off and I moved the can to the side of the road, keeping all of my Spidey senses on alert, my car door open and engine running.
I have a simple rule for wildlife, "If it can eat or seriously hurt you, do not F^^k with it." They wander thru my place all the time based on tracks but I have not seen them. Fine with me as it is a local sow with 3 cubs this year.
This woman was lucky it was only a bluff charge. Could have been a Darwin moment.
