Depends, if I'm much bigger than it, gtfo slowly and carefully. If it's more than half my size up to about my size, I'm it's huckleberry, especially if it's on my property. If it's on my property I'll put it up a tree.

If it's noticeably bigger than me I'm not challenging it unless it's on my property and then I'd arm myself before doing so.

I had bears in my yard.They were coming for the pears.My dogs ran them up several trees.After awhile the dogs grow tired of sitting and waiting, they come inside and the bears come down and waddle off.

Best bet is to go with a friend. If you see a bear, all you need to do is run away faster than your friend.
:lol: Better to carry a very loud pistol. It could be a starter pistol that's used for races & such loaded with blanks. The noise would likely scare the bear off.
