Would this bear encounter make YOU nervous?

I had a cub climb three my stand was in three years ago and he was so close i could of touched him. I held super still because mom was on the ground watching the whole thing. definitely scary

It wouldn't bother me, but then again I have had about 5 cub/sow run ins. Mama black bears don't concern me much, but if I were in Griz country I would probably need a new pair of shorts.
 
Here is a pic of on of a pair of cubs (maybe 30 lbers) I ran up a tree earlier this year. I could hear mama back in the brush. I was able to get some pics and about 7 minutes of video.

I'm around bear all the time.  No need to be fearful, just respect them.

boneaddict,

I have seen many bears also. I am sure not nearly as many as you though. I have had a couple of times where they have tested me. One took a swat at me, one charged me and one really crowded me. Have you had that happen to you? When those times happened, it did not bother me so much at that moment as maybe a day later after having time to have the moment sink in. I had a large cougar stalk within 30' of me and it bothered me more the next day than the moment when it happened. I killed it and it was a 210 pound cougar.

I've been woofed, jawsnapped and charged several times.  I've been attacked once.
