If one is hunting in an area with a known bear population

Then one should not hunt alone.

i was wondering about that. it seems that if you were kneeling over an animal carcass in bear territory, you'd need another person to stand guard.
(however, i'm not a hunter, so i'm just guessing here.)

One should always take another bear with them.
