Great looking bear, great story, and I'm glad neither of them were hurt.

It is normal practice for a hunter to crawl into a bear den, covered withtracks, to see if a bear is inside?????? I've never hunted bear,so i'm not sure how's it done. But geez, going into a den and around a 90 degree turn to look for big brown bear.... does anybody else think this is dangerously stupid? If you don't want to be face to face with a bear,and be easily put in this type of dangerous situation, then why go into the den? I'm just curious more than anything...
