We are doing it this year. I plan on having my camera person film me while I sit on achair with no blind. I may hang a donut off of my boot for even more excitement and thrill.

All I gotta say is watch your back Don. Those bears can be pretty sneaky. But I do think they are more afraid of us than we are of them. Kind of like a whitetail, if they know you're there you won't even see them.
Actually I feel that on most of my 8 bear hunts that I have been on, the bears all pretty well knew I was there and they just tolerated me. I have gotten way high and they still just know that a hunter is there IMO and many of my other bear hunting friends' opinions. You are right about the sneaky aspect of their behavior; blink your eyes and they are there. Many times I have never heard them and as if by magic, they have appeared.
