I'm at the point where i don't carry a gun anymore in the woods, just bear spray. If that isnt' going to stop them, then they were determined to kill me anyway and a gun wasn't going to stop them either.

But more often than not, encounters with bears have them running away from you, unless you unfortunately come between mama and the cubs.

Make noise and keep moving.

I know a lot of people that routinely backpack in bear country.

I know of more people carrying but they say it's for wolves or cats. Bears aren't a big concern for them.

Bears seem to be a concern if you're a hunter. Those Bears know something was just dropped and are coming to steal it.
