[QUOTE="bonie, post: 2888552, member: 47047"] I was in Southern Colorado in 1990 on a guided bow Elk hunt, the guide and my buddy were to my right a few hundred yards away, we were working our way toward a large rock face a few miles away when suddenly from my right came a noise, threw the cover I could see what looked to be an ELK very lite in color and coming towards the game trail I was on, perfect would be 15 yards or less when it hit the trail. I drew my bow and to my surprise It was big Blond bear, 350 lbs plus, she hit the trail at 12 yards and saw me , then she turned towards me and stomped her front feet, so close I could feel it in the ground so I thought thats strange, so while still at full draw I stomped my foward foot back at her. then it got worse, behind her at around 18-20 yards out came 2 blond cubs. I thought **** this just got way worse. she started walking towards me slowly shaking her head but did not raise her hair so I slowly backed up and down hill off the game trail. I only moved maybe 10 yards or so at point she completely looked away as though I was not there I let down my bow and backed off a few more yards then knelt down to retrieve my camera from my pack but before I could snap a pick our guide grunteded at her. she spun towards the cubs and rain jumping over her cubs and gone from site with in 3 or 4 bounds. thats when I relized If she was coming when she was at 8 yards or so. I would have had no chance at a self defence shot. IT all happened so fast there was no time for fear. I had always herd you should stand your ground, but with cubs I thought best give all the ground she wants. I know how my wife protects her cubs. [/QUOTE]
