Wow thats what I call a close one. I bet they had to clean out their shorts after that.

RE: Close Call on a Big Bear
ORIGINAL: kshunter 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... |

RE: Close Call on a Big Bear
Quite a story!! At least you've got experience for next time. Glad neither of you were hurt.

It was a mistake they'll never make again. |
RE: Close Call on a Big Bear
Thats crazy. Or should I say that guy snooping around in a brown bear den is crazy.

RE: Close Call on a Big Bear
When i was hunting brown bears a lot (in Alaska) that would have been an illegal kill. It then was, and probable still is, against the law to bother or harass denned up bears in any way. You could NOT poke around the den and then kill a bear if it came out.
Perhaps this is a story that should have went untold! Drilling Man |

Drilling Man I do know that some rules have changed in certian areas last year, like someareas allowing bait for browns. Also, I heard you can use a predator call on a denned bear to coax it out of a den. I imagine it all comes down to whatarea your hunting up there that will determine the legality of a kill. |
