I hunt in northern WI and I saw bears twice while bowhunting and once while gun hunting last year. I carry a handgun everytime I bowhunt. My dad was sitting in a stand that I had shot a deer out of a few days prior and had a sow and 2 cubs come in to eat the gut pile. He yelled, threw sticks etc and they wouldn't leave until he fired his gun into the ground.

Hey Boo Boo, looks like a pic a nic basket to me!
