I have read quite a few accounts where individuals have been mauled and killed by grizz (brown bears) while tracking or accidently stumbling accross their spore. This would suggest to me that these bears do not like you following them and they will either charge you or lie in ambush. I saw a hunting video that featured a guide outfitter that was very experienced in hunting grizz. He stated on camera that there are no old bold grizzly bear photographers as they all get eaten. This would suggest to me that if you are not hunting grizz and or are not appropriatly armed and you come across fresh tracks, I would back out of there right now.
