This bear was not really aggressive, more curious, but it walked within 10 feet of me.

Seen one yesterday in Wisconsin running across a field. We seen several during rifle season last week.
Actually had a sow we three cubs get bumped on a push. Ran up to a 12 year popped her teeth scared him, turned around, ran at another nephew to 2 steps, stand up pop, growl, drop and run off. She was scared and had cubs. Freaked the kids out though. Lol

Pretty soon you are going to turn into a Vandergaw.

This one was a little more dicey! That's my 86-year-old father in the video. Seeing two cubs go up a tree 20 feet from you will get your adrenaline glands jumping.

Good way to end up as texture in a pile of Bear crap!

That ground slap from so close will make your adrenal glands dump a load, even from a little yearling bear like that. Even the little ones could mess you up if they wanted.

He said he went home and check his drawers. He said he was fine when it walked up and reached out to him and touched his boot. But when it walked away, and turned around and did the slap he saw his life flash before him. He seriously thought he was gonna be bear poop.

We're the kids not armed? I'm sure I would have been explaining the dead bear to the CO had it been my kids.
