About 10 yrs ago a buddy and I were hunting deer just after a fresh snow. The plan was for me to sit out at a point, and he would go around the mountain and eventually end up on top while I watched for anything he might kick out to come around the point. So I found a spot about 75 yds down from the top where i could see a good way down the point. After a while my buddy comes down off the top to where I was sitting and says "you gotta come see something." So we go up to the top of the ridge and he shows me where a black bear had followed my tracks out to the point, and then sat down, about 75 yds above me, watching down to where I was sitting. I never saw or heard the bear. I was never in any real danger, as I was rifle hunting at the time, but it still puts a spook in you, that's for sure.
