The post was meant to be a joke about why I don't approve of this clan. The bear in my story was obviously just acting on instinct and I don't hold that against him at all. I have nothing but respect for bears, it was pretty shocking to walk up to my campsite and find him in it. I was only about 15 feet away before I saw him, he was pretty impressive. I didn't scare him off earlier because I wasn't sure how he would react. This was during one of the dryest summer colorado had ever seen (2012 saw many wildfires and because it was so dry there was heightened bear activity) and I didn't know how desperate he was. I watched his body language for a while and his reactions to my actions before I deemed it safe to run at him to scare him off.
I know, it was totally my bad and I deserved what I got. I had only been at my stopping point for the night for about 20 minutes and was planning to eat soon so I only strung it up about ~15 feet. I stepped about 35 yards away to take in the view for a few minutes and when I walked back to my site there he was.
Oh, and Aerohank, sounds like you had quite a bit you needed to get off your chest. I was obviously joking about the bear being a coward, but I'm glad my story could facilitate your catharsis. Humans....
That guy in the picture is the g43 noob I mauled yesterday. MVGame
