Stand proud and flip him off! (That way if someone is watching, you look like a bad-ass just before the bear eats you.) :smiley_coolpeace:

That dude started shaking like a leaf. Understandable. He should have gave it a scratch behind the ear.

Wasent there a bigger one on the ground?
He was probably just as spooked as the hunter.
 
Ha! Ha! I would have crapped my pants for sure! Had one climb a tree next to mine the year I went to Saskatchewan. He had spotted me up in the stand and came over growled when he jumped on the tree and started coming up. Before I knew it he was almost even with me and the tree was 5-6 feet away. All I could do was stomp my feet and yell at him. Have to laugh about it now but I was scared shitless.

His statement at the end was hilarious! The bear had that Homer Simpson look to him after smelling him, "DOLP!!!" just before descending the tree. Thanks for sharing.
