Default Last night, brown bear down

Shot this guy last night. When in to bait and noticed the barrel was down, stood the barrel back up. Dropped my pack etc. at the base of tree stand and went back to bring some more bait in, taking my gun with me. I returned 15-20 min. later and when I could see the barrel again, it was down again. I said to myself, "What, how is that possible" just then bear jumped up and ran a couple bounds and stopped, turned around and slowly came back, when he offered a shot I dropped him on the spot.
Not the biggest bear but I shot him for the color, going to lifesize him, he'll go good with the black lifesize I already have.

So I looked at some text times on my phone. I texted the guy I went out with @ 5:14 while @ the bait that the bait had been hit. I left to get more bait and came back. I texted him again @ 5:31 that I had shot the bear after I had waited a minute or two for it to give me a shot. In less than 17 minutes, he came in knocked the barrel down and began feasting. I can only assume he was within a few yards when I was there and maybe even watched me leave.
