I watch quite a few bears right from my back porch and believe me as soon as they get a whif of a human, they're gone...history...see ya later. They especially like pizza---doesn't matter what kind of toppings.....
They only problem I feel you would have is if you happened upon a sow with cubs.....and unless the wind was really wrong...the sow would pick up your scent and heard the little ones away from you. I worry more about cougars than anything else. They're 100% killer and 100% stalker. For that reason I pack a .357 mag in a shoulder holster under my charcole suit just in case. Even if it's illigal where you live to pack heat, noone can tell you have the pistol on you in the shoulder holster. Check out ebay and you can pick one up pretty cheap...I paid $12.50 for a real nice all leather with leather straps. Hope this helps you feel a little safer out there bow hunting....
Bear in the area!!
