I've had too scary incidents where a bear was too close for comfort, once when I was up in pickle jar lakes,my daughter and I just went to bed when about a half hour later a bear brushed him self against my tent I was using my arm as a pillow so my hand was pushing a little bit on the tent wall he walked over and was smelling my hand I could feel the heat from his breath meanwhile my dog( beagle) was passed out in my sleeping bag, thankfully he never woke up.the bear hung around for a bit then wounderd back in the bush.( long night).the second one was at gap lake where I actually caught one ( for a split second) on my back cast the bear stop ( because we both did not see one another) he stood up looked at me I said to my buddy get back in the boat,and we did, I then said to my buddy,wow you did not hesitate ( as we would sometimes play tricks) he says to me the look in your eyes and the tone of your voice told me something was wrong. That's a first for me.
