I've got video of a close encounter of the bruin kind that happened to me, on its way.

As soon as it arrives, I'll get Tom to help me post it.

Great story Ray. Somehow though I don't think the story is quite over yet is it?

Great story and pics.   :notworthy:    I'm hoping to go bear hunting for the first time in a year or so. Dad has been several times but I haven't.
