not sure where you think that was dangerous??
I gather you haul bait in that truck, and what happened was a bear could smell it, based on tracks and size of prints I say a female with a 2nd yr cub?
when you hunt over bait, , to be honest your actually pushing things, as NO one in there right mind would try and approach a bear on a natural kill, as by NATURE, they will defend there FOOD/KILL.
hunting over bait(and not bashing on it)
is going against nature, and when your climbing down or?? and bears are on the BAIT/FOOD,
its rather amazing they run off more times than NOT, than the other way
and on a side NOTE< and sorry if this offends you,
all that video of the bear in CALM easy shot like situations, and in the end, it sure seemed like that shot was RUSHED and with the second shot and ?????
maybe not a best shot placement or timing on that hunters side of thing
either get good video, OR take a BETTER shot, would be MY suggestion here!
and if you HUNT predators that are BIG and capable of KILLING YOU<
its just HUNTING a dangerous animal, NOT bears are dangerous, there just capable animals!!
IF they really were DANGEROUS and looking to KILL hunters, there would be a LOT more dead hunters every yr by a BIG jump!
bear human attacks are RARE, and its because Bears don't Target humans 99.9 % of the time!

Sorry, but I have to agree with mrbb in that the video was poor, the "dangerous" comments were rather ridiculous, and the shot selection would have been much better when the animal was broadside, rather than going away.

It can be dangerous if you don't use your head, however, the videa didn'd show a dangerous situation because of the bear, it showed negligence and poor hunting skills by the hunter and outfitter.

It was the circonstance of that night guys. I hunt bears for many years now and it was the first time that happen to me. The video was made only to warn hunters of what could happen wan leaving baits in the trunk. Sorry if i offence some folks here! And the reason why the video was not working is my mistake not the admin one

NO offence here, I just said what I said, in case others see the video,
the dangers were NOT from hunting bears
it was from poor bear awareness and what to DO and NOT to do when in bear area's
keeping food in your vehicle where bears are is a MAJOR NO NO,
bears live by there nose's, and there nose is unreal in HOW good they are
makes a GOOD Bird dogs nose seem poor!
they have seen bears smell a kill from over 8 miles away?
8 miles??
odds are they can smell food in a cooler in a truck bed, with NO issue's
and well, bears are also very curious critters
so temptation from odors and something new to explore, can be a double whammy , when in bear territory!
Bear hunting is a rather safe sport to be honest!
we all make mistakes, and thats also how we can all learn!
