The worst experience I had with bears was driving back from Penticton. Going through Manning Park we saw bunch cars on the side of the highway. Next thing I knew cars in front of us were breaking/stopping. It was so sudden I almost ran into a car! One of the drivers even started backing up his car on the freaking highway! What an idiot! A good friend of mine had a run-in experience with 3 bears back in May. He was camping by himself up in a logging road near Squamish. Around 3 in the morning he was awaken by sound outside of his tent. There were 1 mother bear and 2 cubs climbing a tree 10 metres in front of his tent! They hung around for 2 hours while my friend sat in the tent trying not to make any sound. Scary! The last thing I’d do is standing that close to a bear…

Not sure how he got there because it's fenced in. The BC Conservation Officers had to come and remove it (they tranq'd him and put him in the back of a pickup). Then they told the neighbourhood to go into their houses because they were not sure if Momma Bear was in the area looking for her cub. They never did find momma though...

I had a similar experience one weekend in Whistler. This brown bear was coming out of the trees near a pathway and this girl just walked by him and just stared him in the eyes. I swear she was only 10 feet away from it. I just thought that was stupid. Lucky for me I was in the safety of my car :) Yeah People are stupid! I had a similar experience one weekend in Whistler.

When I was near Jasper last year, I saw this family start sneaking up on a huge moose to try and photograph it. People are so dumb when it comes to wild animals.
