[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 3033933, member: 32631"] I hope I never have to. Last Oct. when buddy and I watched the griz for half hr. covering carcass, I have pics of him doing it also , then walk away down the canyon out of sight it gave us the creeps. Buddy moved over by my so he could glass and watch behind me. Sure enough a little later my buddy says there he is. The griz was coming down opposite ridge about 100 yds. away. I'm trying to shorten this story. Sorry. He came down to Creek bottom and started to walk towards us. We were about 20 yds above. He lifted leg and peed. Walked towards us. Stopped directly below us and looked up towards us. That's when I set phone down with left hand and picked up bear spray. I already had pistol in right had. I was sitting down. Buddy was standing up behind dead tree next to me with pistol in one hand and videoing with phone in other for proof if we got attacked. The griz stould there for about 10 seconds. Walked over to Creek and got a drink then walked on down the creek bottom about 100 yds.. We couldn't see around the bend so we both should there hoping he didn't come up top to where we were.
