livbucks,

I live in Northeastern PA, and we have many bears around. They are attracted to garbage, and food left out, coolers, hanging deer, nice smells coming from barbacues but your lunch, no. I would say that they are very afraid of you. They only get aggressive when you get between momma and the cubs.

If you left open food in you stand and climbed down to hit the head, than maybe they would climb up, but I wouldn't worry about the bears.

If I were you, I would worry more about the mountain lions, just kidding. Although, New York has them and they like to go south for the winter, ha ha.
