From what I was told and the little I understand, most bears are solitary animals while most humans are herd/pack animals.
Bears don't go after a pack of coyotes or wolves, while they can and will kill a stray given the chance.
Bruins are smarter then pigs and know a lot more then we think they're capable of. However, most bears certainly know that where there's one human there are or will be many more.Feverishly avoiding "a steady stream of humanity, with a view that offers little more than butts, boots, elbows and backsides".

Just sharing a video that I took 3 years ago at Siyeh Pass in Glacier National Park. We were about 5 miles from the closest road. He/she looked right at us and then did this little "dance". The bear was about 100' away. We had pepper spray but a strong wind was coming right at us rendering it useless. Strangely, I wasn't afraid. It was more like "extremely alert". He/she wandered off, unfortunately in the direction we had to go. Fortunately we did not see it again. This video was a big "hit" with the park rangers that night.

So I'd like to go deeper into this. I want to backpack in Lamar Valley in Yellowstone with my wife...How do grizzly bears especially know that humans in a tent aren't food even if they get curious? Serious question. How do they associate a human with danger if you are deep in the backcountry and that particular bear never personally had a bad experience with a human?Last edited by forest dweller; 08-15-2020, 12:08 AM.Comment

They're animals, therefore unpredictable. Bring bear spray, stop analyzing and have a good time. You have a good shot as spotting wolves in Lamar Valley as well.“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. They smelled of moss in your hand. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”

I think it's an old postcard I saw somewhere and took a pic of it.“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. They smelled of moss in your hand.
