I've seen little Black bears break into a car and destroy the seats because the owners little dog came into heat one weekend. The bear tore the door skin off the car to get in. The CO's shot that bear the next day. I've watched as a bear tore thru a tent (in one side out the other) and dragged a cooler off with him in a packed campground. That one was also shot.

All bears will attack and kill you. Don't believe Disney!
All bears CAN kill you. I have them on my property frequently. They are looking for food and yes if you threaten them or the babies they will defend themselves. I have never had one attack or bluff but I keep a good buffer between us. The young ones often climb to escape a threat but in the OPs case it looks like that tree is part of their foraging path.

So be wary of having meals out there WD, do not leave the dog or dog food out there.
