We did spend two days on the ground. On top of a 20 foot cliff and behind some trees and brush. I thought that was the ideal ambush spot. But, nothing but snowshoe hares showed up.

Sounds like the two of us together will never see bear unless we happen upon a stupid one

I'm use to the bears that come to a corn feeder here in PA. You can go out and yell at them and they just lay there and eat.
