Black Bears aren't that aggressive really, unless they have cubs in tow. So it was shocking at the time because I was glassing another Bear further out and didn't even see the mom and cubs. Must have smelled me and spooked them.So that's where the term "sissy" comes from!Just kidding, I might have done the same!
Not a bear, but still impressive!
Nasty! Did the guy shout at it while it was still down below, or did he stay quiet, hoping it wouldn't see him?
He didn't know it was there until it was too late. When he raised his voice in pain the Bear took off. Black Bears specifically are like cats in that they have that childlike curiosity.
That would have answered the question "does CC **** in the woods".
Lol
The bear saw and smelled something he didn't want to clean up after, so he left.
Fantastic stuff guysMy personal motto for bears:
Black-fight back
Brown-lay down
Polar-it's over
I love bears and watch every show I can about them. Polar bears have the nastiest disposition, in general. Black usually scamper away from people.
If I am walking in the woods in the PNW, I would much rather come across a bear rather than a moose. Those suckers will tree you
Never seen a mountain lion. Seen a couple of lynxes and finally saw a bobcat within the last year.Fantastic stuff guys
Cool dudes having cool conversation, where's @maxdogg AT ?,,He runs those black bears off the front porch of his fishing cabin.
My mother's father used to hunt/ eat them,I've seen more mountain lion(2) than bear(0)
*FOLLOWING en-mass* now
Yes,I don't know why that first vid came up ,,,
LoL,the AZ. FISH&GAME require you to 'camp' a 1/4 mile away from water holes, for good reason too!,,, I had one come in on me while on a 'camp' and of course I had 2/3 rds of a six of beer chilling over nite in the water, it cut loose with what honestly sounded like a shrill woman's scream from about 75 yards away ,up the hill& behind me at around 1 a.m. ,,,er,,,I didn't sleep much the rest of that nite
Ya,don't those bear sows go into some kinda' like two year refractory period, after their first breeding?, pretty sure I've retained that useless tidbit from somewhere along the way

Let's get ready to ruuuuumble!
When I was a kid, we were camping at Lake Nimrod with my family, 12 of us, and in the middle of the night a panther came through the camp and let out a scream I still cannot describe. We all spent the rest of the night sleeping in the cars.LoL,the AZ.
