    I’ve watched people get out of their cars and chase bears in the Smokies to get a photo. People are crazy. It’s amazing more people don’t die from bear attacks

      Ironically chasing the bear is probably the safer option. It’s a predator so it will actually avoid wastes of calories. Prey animals will resort to “one or both of us is dieing here.”
