[QUOTE="c-ne-elk, post: 870568, member: 33799"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Once we got the bear out of the creek and onto the bank we took some more photos and then began peeling the hide off. Five minutes after we started skinning, I look up and there is a bear standing on his back feet, 20 yards away watching and “woofing” (the sound he was making) at us. We grab our rifles and immediately started yelling at him hoping he would run off.[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]When the bear would go down on all fours, he would completely disappear in the tall grass. Then he would pop us 10 yards to the left, woof at us, hair standing on end and then go back down. Then pop us again out of the grass in a different spot, he repeated this several times. The whole time he was never more than 30 yards away. [/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]We began looking for an exit route but really had nowhere to go and if he charged out of the grass he would be at about 10 yards away, time for each of us to only get one shot.
