RE: Post your horror stories here....
It's a long story, so i'll shorten it a bit.
I took a friend out for sitka blk tail deer and to get a brown bear, out on an island in Prince William Sound in Alaska. A few days later we came up on a reallyNICE bear sitting faceing us at about 75 yards away, in a clearing that i knew of, in some virgin rain forest i like to hunt. I told my friend, "there's your bear, shoot it right under the chin in the chest". He just stood there stareing at the bear with his rifle pointing straight up. I said "TAKE the shot before it moves off", and he just stood there shakeing his head back and forth, no! Then i said, "what the he!! are you doing, you going to take that bear or not!!!" He kept stareing and said "I don't want a bear".... Just then the bear put it's nose in the air and winded us, andimmediately charged downhill straight at us. I put the cross hairs on the bear, but it lost our sent at about 40 yards away,and started milling around.
hahahhaahaaa Man, was i ever peeeeved at him... He never even aimed at the bear and proclaimed, "my a$$ was puckered up so tight you couldn't have pounded a pin up it with a sledge hammer!!!" hee he heee i'llNEVER forget him saying that...
Next day he asked me, "do you think you could get me a bear yet?" I said "HE!! NO,and i won't eventry!!"
