usually beats don't scare me but this one walked right behind me as I'm sitting at ground level. We have a lot of bears here so seeing them isn't rare. Every now and again though one will try to establish its dominance then it can be a little scary.
I had to shoot at one a few years ago in my yard cuz it wouldn't go away when i tried chasing it out of my yard. It got on its hind legs and walked toward me. A couple shots by its foot and out ran away.
I might add.... I had a big old husky at the time.... She hid behind me.....

obviously she was very special to you
