I’ve spent a lot of time up north in the woods where bears are very common. For the most part bears will always avoid humans. They do not see very well but have a very keen sense of smell. Just try to avoid smearing honey, bacon grease or berry juice on yourself and you should be fine! One point worth noting, if you bring dogs with you while you walk around keep close eyes on them. The main concern up north is not bears but wolves and secondly coyotes. As some of you know they will be taking wolves off the endangered species list in Wisconsin. But for the most part wolves also will avoid humans.
