[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2888920, member: 118066"] Mike, Aka, bear bait. Was guiding two lawyers and their wives late in the season. Salmon run was over, for the most part But these two lawyers booked a fishing/ river trip for trout and grayling. The guide service was closing for the winter and Mike and the lodge owner were the only people left, other than the cook. So Mike took them out. It was early September and starting to be cold. The first two days went great and Mike was expecting a good tip for this, they were catching lots of fish and having a great time. Then it went bad! He had the four clients in a wall tent, he slept in a bivy sac between the camp fire and the tent. He was waken by something tripping over the tie down lines to the biv sac. He slid out a shined his light only to see a nine foot brown bear ten feet away. Then he heard another sound and saw another one directly behind him. Two nine foot bears in the camp. Ten feet from the wall tent and the sleeping lawyers and wives. Out comes the 12 gauge again. But he knew he wasn't pulling the trigger on these two. He watched as they walked off out of the camp fire light. Breathing a sigh of relief he scooted back in his little sac. Twenty minutes later, they are back. Now they are sniffing around the wall tent. He hits them with his flashlight which only brings one over to him. It's now at the end of his sac, about eight feet. He's looking down the barrel of the 870 at it scared poop less. It huffs at him and walks off about fifteen yards and gets in a fight with the other bear. He's out of the sac now headed to the wall tent. The wives are awake! He gets the two guys out and dressed. Wives are coming un glued now. He's telling them to keep quiet without much success.
