This bear of a situation does occur anywhere bears exist.
Have my own close encounter story for some other tyme re a Bear coming at me.

I heard you single handedly wrestled a family of grizzly bears down during one of your 10 mile runs

Story is. Was set up the nite b4 to solo climb in Yosemite. Base camp for climbers was at edge of a cliff down from mountain but still Wayyyy up.
Lots of Climbers camped out and family could set up n wait and enjoy the day. So I take a spot that is next to edge without a thought about only one direction to run if necessary.
Someone left a Ice Chest loaded with food out of their tent and about 30 feet from me. I go to sleep and in middle of nite hear weird bumping sound. Look out and see a bear rolling that Ice Chest towards me. Me nude in bag, no place to go but towards that bear.
Well wot did I do? Me thinks but no memory - just went to sleep (probably passed out) and when I woke up in morning that Ice Chest was at touching edge of my Haid!!!
Girl came over to apologize and it was filled with jelly and honey and breakfast stuff. She made me breakfast and I took off for the climb.
Beyond that I have only viewed bears from a distance and never n all my years of Hiking Backpacking Climbing run in2 a bear but sure have met many who were ripped off of food.

I can fill in the blanks. You faced off the bear armed with only your comb and no clothes, the bear charged and you charged, after a lengthy fight the bear lay dead at your feet so you skinned it before the sun came up. When you woke the girl was so impressed she presented herself to you and you happily took her, then you finished breakfast and walked off with your new bear skin rug which lies in your living room today
