Black bears, yes. We had one tear apart our garage door last week to get trash in the bin inside (we forgot the trash guy comes a day later with a holiday).
At least up the hill they are very shy of people. I see them on the edge of the woods usually and they run the other way. I've come upon them (nearly bumping into the rear of one) running barefoot. I'm silent and they just don't hear me. He looked back at me and casually ambled off. I have a "bear bag" made of kevlar that I tie to a tree for my food. Though this round I ended up fasting for a bit over 72 hours (though I had food) simply because I wasn't hungry. That was with 15 hours of hiking/biking/running.
