You are correct as long as you smart concerning bear behavior. I have never had a problem with them. I even ended up walking next to one on a dirt road once. Neither myself, my dog or the bear noticed each other and when we finally did, Nikki and I just stopped and let the bear go ahead. I broke the rule of making noise when in the woods.
And for the record, I have no knowledge of any missing humans in my area.
