Yea, Grizzly bears are. Black bears like this one are basically big rodents.

We’ll be camping this weekend in bear country. Never, ever ever take any food in your tent.

Anything that is smellable needs to be locked in the car, hung in a bear bag or in a bear proof container. (bears know how to open car doors. I know guys who found out the hard way)

In grizzly country, all food prep and eating is done far from camp. Change clothes at the food area before bunking down.

Well, a hunter here in michigan about 6 years back now, sitting on a stump, heard nothing. The black bear came from behind and clocked the man. No bites, big bruise. Estimated weight of bear right around 200 lbs.
