Part of the reason many people never see a bear is because they actively stay away from humans. Everything being equal, (the bear is healthy, it's not near hibernation, and there's no cubs nearby) you could quite easily do the animal version of hanging out with them. (Animals are fine paralleling each other by something like 50 meters)

Same thing with wolves. They're so naturally adverse to human contact that handlers at wolf rescue operations just literally walk into the enclosure, drop their food and walk away. For vet stuff they come in with cushioned sticks and just gently pin them to the ground.

Now I don't suggest trying any of this (bear or wolf) without some training and backup but it illustrates just how much normal animals don't want anything to do with humans.
