When you approach a bear, eventually you're going to encroach on the bruin's personal space and force it to "fight or flee." Unless you've had weeks or months to study the bear, you won't know at what distance you'll encroach on the bear's personal space--might be 5 yards, might be 150 yards. Once you encroach on it's personal space, you won't know if it will move away or charge you. You're playing Russian roulette. If it charges, you won't know if it will stop short of making contact or put you in a hospital. Your'e playing Russian roulette. The best outcome for you is that the bear will flee--move away--but of course that raises ethical concerns. Is getting a photo so important that you have the right to drive a bear away from food or shelter it needs? Never approach bears. Forget the old "never get between a sow and her cubs." You don't have to get between a sow and her cubs to encroach on her personal space, you just have to get close enough.
