That's crazy. I've only had one encounter where the bear didn't just take off the moment it saw or heard me. And that was when I was driving and one was crossing the road. I laid on my horn and it just looked at me like, "WTF", and continued on his way across the street.

While something like this isn't very common, it does happen.
