The smell of dirty pants probably deterred the bear.
Good God!
If that bear had be Hangry....it would have been a different outcome !!!
I'll bet he had the shiny silver shotgun in the lower right of the screen slung after that instead of layin' on a log!
That's the McNeil River, the place is thick with bears, and the river is thick with fish. The bear was probably exhausted and stuffed from fishing and eating all morning.
You can get pretty close.
Ha, shoulder to shoulder, 12 bear in one spot. One fish caught. All the others with a gloomy look. Just like steelhead fishing in Erie .
When you are the biggest, baddest, s.o.b. in the valley you can ignore all others without fear and the bear just proved that. Bob
"Grizzly man" did that several times.....then he was eaten!
I watched that crap show movie in a hotel room in Vale Colorado, years ago, when it came out on DVD. The fella I worked with, that bought the DVD, was wondering what was wrong with me, as I laughed the whole way through the movie.
Only a POS hippie would do anything like that braindead idiot did.
What a great comedy.
And the good guys, I mean bears, won in the end.

Take me home, I hate Grenada
Don't leave me, out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear...."
A few years ago, my son was visiting and we were grilling outside. My wife and I were on a bench facing my son who was sitting in a folding lawn chair. I asked him "you grew up, up here and you never seen a bear.....right?" He stated that he had never seen one, even when playing on the mountain. I said, "well turn around, there is one right behind you."
That is when the action started. My son jumped up to get away from the bear, my wife jumped up to get a better look at it, and I jumped up to go get a camera. The bear must have thought that there was too much commotion for him/her and turned around and sauntered off, climbing back up the mountain.
We measured it and the bear was approximately 6 feet from my son. 12 feet from us.
We have them here on a regular basis.
A couple of visitors last year.......
I've come across lots of bears in the woods, never had much trouble at all. Black bears are like big cats, easy to * and chase off. Brown bears are another story.
Once I took the dogs and the Rover up to the end of a remote trail. Mountain dropped away steeply to the right, single lane rock trail, steep hill going up to the left, and a ditch right outside the driver's door. I let the dogs out and I stepped out, barely room to stand. The dogs barked and ran up the trail, down through the ditch onto the hillside, barking their fool heads off. I immediately knew I'd made a huge mistake. I watched as a huge brown head rose up in the tall grass, right across the ditch and maybe 10 feet higher than me. I yelled and whistled for the dogs to COME!!!!!! and glory hallelujah, they turned and came back. As they got to me, the bear stood up and looked at me. One leap and he would have been right on top of me. I couldn't move forward, the car door was in the way. I could barely turn around on my narrow spot, and I had three dogs climbing all over each other trying to get in the Rover. Bear took a step toward the ditch, I slammed the door closing the dogs in the car, and the bear started down into the ditch toward me. I didn't dare turn my back and I couldn't get into the Rover backward without looking, it was too high to step into. He got down in the ditch, eyeballing me the whole time, then started up my side. I could have touched him with a fishing pole. He reached the trail and instead of coming toward me, he sauntered off down the trail away from me, hips swaying side to side just like Balloo Bear in the Jungle Book movie.
You should read about Charlie Vandergaw, he has a cabin he calls Bear Haven out by the Yentna river.
My first encounter with bears:
😁
I've been within 10' of a very large black bear. It ran like a scalded cat the instant it realized I was there. Apparently the bear had no doubt as to who was the "biggest, baddest, s.o.b. in the valley" and it wasn't.
I've been so close to a sow griz & cub that I could smell them but never saw them. So close behind black bears that their tracks across a water trickle were still filling. Followed up arrowed black bears in the dark doghair timber. Never had a real face off with a bear AND NEVER INTEND TO.
We never Turkey hun without seeing bear...This one was a few years back and had a real attitude...Taken with a real old digital camera...no telephoto...

Hey, Grunt, maybe you need to change your turkey calling technique.😁
Are slugs allowed for turkey hunting?
Bears will come to turkey and other game calls, especially distress. Dinner bell
Yep and the sound of high powered rifles. BOOM means there’s a moose down, and soon, a gut pile.
