forest of dean redneck 12,022 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Why would you approach bear Cubs? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,909 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't think he went looking for bears, gents! LOL. It doesn't mention details on the encounter, just that he was scouting Elk country and got charged by a sow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wrong place at the wrong time, still if you go out knowing cubs are on the ground then be prepared to get dead.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I love the article. If it's brown lay down. If it's black, fight back. but some brown bears can look black and some black bears can look brown. Wise words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just part and parcel of living and hunting in that country. I think they all know and accept that. Frankly I envy the hell out of them. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very lucky he didn't bump into a hungry bear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,764 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 So the bear charged him from about yards while he was scouting for elk. I wouldn't fancy coming face to face with an elk, certainly not without a rifle... bear spray ffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,634 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Lucky certainly, but he did help himself too. Think if it was me I'd leave the spray in the car next time, and take something that might be a bit more of a 'deterrent'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
