One you need to visualize -- flew into a fishing lodge, landed and headed up to the cook shack for a coffee. Inside the cook shack was a shambles and the cook was putting stuff back in place. The door on the opposite side had a outside round circle of bird shot. The center of the patter was missing as the cook shot at the bear on its way out.
Caribou hunting -- camp had an electric bear fence. One night a barren ground grizzly tried the fence. There was a fair amount of noise and getting back to sleep was not easy.
Hunting a big clear cut with dead scraps of trees and piles of brush that you could not see over. My partner was off a ways to my left and we heard something ahead of us but could not see anything. Moving forward quietly I was going around a brush pile and heard a noise immediately behind my left side. I turned and a black bear had den site in a brush pile and its head was sticking out looking at me from about 4 ft. After the shot it took me a while to stop shaking.
