yep that was a great bear story i too read it over and over...we need another story with a bear got with the old parker loaded with buckshot and slugs... boy i bet the hunting partner still dreams about his experiance with the cub and the sow...i had to laugh a little.. heres my first cousins storey... the hunt was in wisconsin..my cosins name was CAROLYN the guy that carried her out hunting was her uncle looyie...looyie and her had hunted all morning but had not seen any bears. looyie found some tracks and decided to set and wait to see if the bear mite come back along..well looyie set CAROLYN down about 15 yards from the bear tracks and told her to make sure to stay awake for this bear just mite show up again..looyie told her he was going down the trail a little ways and set up watch his self...well looyie did not go 20 steps and said he found a blowed over spruce tree so he made his set up there..well the sun was a shining bright on that old blowed over spruce tree looyie fell a sleep on his stand...well was not to long CAROLYN heard this bear a coming it was getting closer and closer..CAROLYN WAS BEGINNING TO GET SCARED SHE COULD NOT SEE LOOYIE ANYMORE..well she got her gun up and got ready for that bear she said the noise of that bear was nerve racking..she said she lost her cool and decided she had better climb a tree and hopefully the bear could not climb it...CAROLYN said she went up that tree like a squirl and in a hurry...when she got up as high as she could she said she relized she had left her gun on the ground... she said her back pack and water was also on the ground.she said she was not going back down that tree to get that gun because she said that bear was making the awfulliest noises of snorting and things you ever heard..she said she screamed out a coupla times for looyie but decided she was giving her hiding place away.well the wind picked up and the temperature fell some she was really in trouble now..she said that bear was still in that brush pile making noises she decided she had to get somebodys attention if she could she was worried she would be up that tree all night..she had now been up this tree for 2 hours so she decided to start yellin for help...well she shouted at the top of her lungs well looyie jumped up put of his sleep and run to where CAROLYN WAS UP THAT TREE..he said carolyn had scared the you no what out of him...he finally coached her down out of that tree and got her to tell him what was going on..CAROLYN told him of the bears unusal noises and that she had been up that tree for over 2 hours and that bear had stayed in that brush pile the hold time till she went to screaming for looyie..well she kinda had her composure back and showed looyie where the bear was. low and behold to her surprise they went to the bears brush pile and as they looked for tracks looyie relized this was the brush pile he had made his wait for the bear..no tracks were found because it had been looyies snoring that CAROLYN had mistaken for a bear..till this day shes never been back bear hunting...true storey... charlie
