    no. waved arm and yelled and it leapt off. was an eye opener though. Most black bears are skittish. Occasional large old males though can be dangerous.

    Good point - I would be more concerned in grizzle bear country for that, but a big black bear can easily mess things up in your truck if it smells food in it. Put a piece of salami tied to a string hanging up high in a tree a few hundred yards away and enjoy an undisturbed night...

    Bears are best viewed through binoculars, spotting scope,or telephoto lens. I have been way to close to bears for my comfort.

    For the most part bears avoid humans. Unless you get in their way of their babies. scavenging food is what they do. Typically they arent a threat unless they are wounded, have babies, a young immature bear, or starving for some reason--health, age or something like that.
