I have posted these pics befor but I saw a few post concerning calling bears with predator calls and it reminded me of a little bear my bro and I called in a few years back. We had called in a few bears before but none this close.
We were slipping through an old burn area when my bro spotted this little bear about 80 yards downhill.We had the mid-day thermals going up the mountain so the wind was perfect.
My bro just started lip squeeking and the bear responded and came up the hill. Before we knew it he was 20 yards away and still coming. We figured we would just sit motionless and see how close he would get. I love this pic,the full size version is awesome...
At this point it started getting intresting. The bear is only 8 feet away and is acting like he wants to jump on our rock and say hello.
My bro and I decided we should let the bear know what we were in case the bear got to close and we had to shoot it (we had bear tags but it was a little small) My bro and I both stood up at the same time and the bear really didn't know what to do. At first he thought about charging then got wise and did a 180 and down the hill he went. This is when he thought about charging....
