Significant edits... might change the intent of the question too much, but worth a shot. Am I doing this right?

| Feb 7, 2012 at 4:31 | comment | added | Lost | I think its tugging at a valid question - but the "startled" aspect makes it difficult... How do you know you startled the bear? Did it garumph and run away? Did it snarl and charge? The correct answer will be different for each. Below are answers to the question "How do I prevent a bear encounter from becoming a bear attack?" | |

There are great guidelines for specific bear/human interactions - especially if the bear species / geography are nailed down to make this more useful than an armchair discussion of the most general case. | |

Your best bets is talk to the bear with friendly louder voice and while facing it keep your hands in front of you and back away with same speed the bear is approaching you. If the bear takes you for pray you are done. | |

| Jan 28, 2012 at 23:24 | comment | added | Kevin | Run the hell away. But remember, you don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy next to you. | |
