They are an endangered species around these parts but the national park that I hunt in has the largest population in Louisiana. I have never seen one in the woods....but my buddies have seen mommas with cubs, had them try to climb the tree they were hunting from, and had the bear 'stalk' them for a while.

Sometimes wild animals especially preditors can be hard to scare with screams and yelling. The best thing to do is make more 'unnatural' type noises....like airhorns or metal against metal contact....that usually sends them running.
