[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2560725, member: 4191"] Had a black bear follow my scent trail up to within 20 feet of me while hunting black bear in the Kenai Mt range of Alaska. Snuck in toward me slowly and very deliberately, from 15 yards to 7 yards distant, while we stared each other down. Then he started to circle, showing me his side profile. Like he was attempting to look big, bad, and tough. Never took his eyes off me. I never took mine off him. With the rifle at my shoulder and ready to fire, I made a quick wave motion with my shooting arm, to further see what he was about. He shifted his shoulder and head away quickly as if he was going to flee. But stopped that motion as quick as he'd started it, without ever having lifted his front feet. Then he swung his head and shoulder back at me again, staring at me like I owed him a bunch of money. Like dogs look at each other just before they fight. He knew I was people all along as he came in from directly down wind of me. And as soon as he came into view, his eyes were locked onto me. My curiosity was past being satisfied. His demeanor was WAY unhealthy for a wild black bear. I pasted him just behind the shoulders with a 7mm RM and a 160gr Accubond. There was the slightest of a hesitation from him. As if he was deciding to fight or flee. Then he busted off 35yds and piled up with a death bawl. About my easiest black bear ever, as far as hunting black bear goes. He gave every appearance of a predatory stalk. Had I not had my firearm, I would have found out exactly what his intentions were. And I suspect, the hard way... [/QUOTE]
