You did the right thing. A number of years ago there was a fellow mauled up on Thunder mountain West of Rocky Mtn House, early season Elk hunting if I recall. Was going to head into the same spot and seen his vehicle parked there and decided to go else where, then read about the mauling later on in the paper.
You never know with bears, I had one (black) charge in while calling moose, now he is a rug. Pretty good adrenaline rush to say the least. But we were loaded with tags and ready for just about anything.
Always better to be safe then sorry.
