I've been told that bears will stand out in the road and make you stop and then try to attack. They are strong enough to take a door off a car. Are bears a real hazard in Montana?

No bears just do not stand by the highway and say okay now I am going to attack this car. For the most part they are scared of humans and want nothing to do with us. While a bear may cross the road trust me he is not going after the car, he is just moving in his territory looking for food, a mate ect... If however you PROVOKE the bear than yes it will attack you and your car after all it is a wild animal. I have seen footage of bears that have broken into cars at campsites looking for food, again they are doing what they were made for seek and find food for survival. When ever something like this happens it is almost always human error. If you are camping or hiking in MT make sure you follow some basic bear guidelines. Don't leave food out, or near your campsite. Carry bear mace and if you are hiking wear a bear bell. If they hear something coming they will take off, however if you go a around a corner and surprise them they might attack. I have been to MT, and we did a lot of hiking and I am still here to tell the story. Just be smart, like with ANY animal. I hope this helps.
