3-don't shoot it unless it's trying to eat you,bears will run off more then anything but they can be mean SOB's if they decide to harm you.

I've been in WV almost twenty years and have seen one bear and he was going the other way,doesn't stop me from always having a gun on me!

BTW I feel fine with a .45 auto loaded with some older-type 230 gr JHP in the woods.
I've been in Pa for less than 2, and I have seen 6 blackies, at least. Two of them were in my driveway last fall.
