Black bears usually avoid people, but are attracted by food and are more likely to approach people when food is scarce.
Bears don’t like surprises. So, if you are out in the forest, sing, whistle or talk if you are in an area with restricted visibility or one that has a lot of background noise such as wind or waterfalls. Travel in groups.If you are in the countryside where there may be bears, don’t let your dog roam free. A bear responding to a dog may make a defensive attack on people, or a dog being chased by a bear can lead the animal back to the owner.
