[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2653668, member: 313"] There is an interesting ending to this ^^^^^^ story. As I waited for my guide, I could hear the cubs back at the bait site. I assumed that the sow was still close. I sent a text message to the guide telling him that bears were all over the site. I tried scaring the cubs away by shining the bright light at them, but they were quite intent on eating all the sweets that were in the pails. I could see my guide working his way up the forested hill because he was carrying one of those million candle power lights. Halfway up he just stops, and the light doesn't move for several minutes. Eventually he reaches the stand and I asked why he stopped for so long. He had a 45 auto stuffed in his pants for protection. The magazine was loaded but the chamber was empty for safety. ?? He said that he encountered a large bear on the trail and that the bear would not give up its position. With the big light in one hand, he grabbed his pistol with the other. He wanted to fire a shot but didn't have a free hand to rack the slide and wouldn't put the light down. It was a good ol' Mexican stand-off. LMAO [/QUOTE]
