Wow...You just never know do you? I've never hunted bear, but I've seen a few while deer hunting here in Ohio. When I see one, or a track, I get that "maybe I'm not quite the top of the food chain" feeling while running around the woods with just a bow...

Biggest lesson I see from this, is know who you are hunting with when going after anything that could bite back. Hell, I get mad when somebody at the hunt club does something dumb while duck hunting...Not sure what I would do if I had to go hand to claw with bear...
