Shootin's too good for that bear. Sounds like he may have been staking out that fishing hole for awhile.
Personally, I just troop around with a dog and a .22. Damn near step on the occassional bear, but they're not interested in people.
That used to be the case here some years ago as well, but they seem to be getting bolder and bolder in recent years. Dunno if it is because I am spending most of My time in one particular area or perhaps because there are more and more people in that general area, but they do not seem to be as wary of people of late. I find fresh tracks every morning and of different sizes and sometimes droppings as well, so I know there are more than one coming by. I always eat over a paper towel so no crumbs or bits of food are left behind, and always pack everything out when I leave including paper and plastics, but spring is here and pretty soon there are going to be some hungry bears coming out of hibernation and I need to prepare.
