It depends. If it’s a polar bear like the above, breaking a stick probably won’t scare it away. It not likely to scare a grizzly bear too but a black bear has a reputation of being easily startled so breaking a stick might work if it makes a loud enough noise. You’re better off shouting or singing badly though.
