I will admit, I am not a big bear hunter, never was really. I have only shot one bear in my life, it wasn't a big bear and to be perfectly honest I didn't even want to shoot it. But it's a good story.
I am at my dads in Widewater, he lives on the lake there. We are going out for an afternoon hunt, it's an early October day. So he's in the house making a thermos or whatever and I am loading gear into the truck. I look up and there's this bear on the corner of his lawn, right in the yard. So I am just standing by the truck watching him and my dad comes out. I gestured with a nod to him and he looks and sees the bear. So he says "you should shoot it", I said "nah what for it's a small bear", he says "well the grand kids are playing in the yard all the time and once a bear starts hanging around they will always be around". So we get into this big debate over it for about 5 minutes, and not whispering, just talking about it, the bear just stands there the whole time. He finally convinced me to shoot it, so I did. And that's my bear hunt story. Poor bugger, wrong place, wrong time.
