scuro Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 My few encounters with bears have led me to believe that they are not an intelligent animal. Some are very fearful and hightail it as soon as they see or hear humans and others don't. I wouldn't be carrying a gun unless there was cause but what about a cap-gun or firecrackers...or come to think of it a hand held air siren? A dude I fished with recently had problems with bears and he had an assortment of stuff at the ready.
John Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Great report as usual Drew. Thank you for sharing.
Victor Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 thanks for the great read once again! Made me felt like I was there
Reef Runner Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks for an amazing read. Sounds like an awsome trip. I too had my encounters with curious camp bears and a believer/practioner of karma. Thanks again, reefrunner
Joey Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 What an awesome report Drew. Was just wondering tho, at what point when you were slathering on the coconut smelling cream did it dawn on you that it might not be a good idea Glad to hear to you are okay. We had many encounters on the townsite in Elliot Lake with black and brown bears. They sure can give you a scare when you walk into them. Joey
Dusky Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 The deep woods can quickly make logical men pretty spiritual some days. Ahh man... talk about it.... Good to read your experience!

Reef Runner Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Out there....karma is a bear. In Toronto....karma is a louisville slugger.
Jen Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 You just described why I have fallen prey to the fishing bug... Amazing story, thank you so much for painting the picture so very perfectly that I was saddened when I got to the end... Your trips both out into the world and inside yourself are something to envy... Cheers, Jen

wuchikubo Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Always an incredible read with beautiful pics too. Your skill at story telling is great as like many others have said, it had the effect of bringing back memories of similar moments in one's life to bring your description even closer to visualization.
TJQ Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 What can I say... incredible read as always.... up at camp.. after my last bear encounter... the side by side 12 gauge is never far....
Smokey Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Yet another great report Moose. Quite the adventure and nothing like a visitor in the night to get the mind going and causing a bit of unrest. Thanks Mike
