how many of you have hunted Bear alone

[bighorns2bushytails]

i bear hunt with a partner or solo.  i dont worry so much about the bear getting me as i do packing it out. a good size bear is dead weight and heavy...

I have, no to concerned

I killed my last bear on the ground at 10 yards...on my knees with my bow.  No worries  

Me too!     Of course, it was 20+ years ago... and I was standing.   

There might be more deer attacks on hunters than bear attacks?

you hunt deer or elk alone? bear knows no different in what your hunting there out there always. Never had any sort of a scare with a bear, unless wounded.

My first and only bear scared my Dad a little. I hit the thing right in the vitals at 70yds with a .338win and it turned and ran straight at me my secound shot rolled it at 35-40yds. I had new found respect for Bears after that but I still go out by myself hunting them. As long as you can keep your cool and make a good shot theres no worries

Half the time when I go hunting it's by myself. I work retail so I have weird days off  so when I want to go hunting everyone else I know is working. I definately don't go to some of my favorite spots by myself just because of the difficulty of the terrain and don't want to end up seriously injured in the backcountry.

Half the time when I go hunting alone I am by myself the other half my other personality comes along!!

Never really thought of it that way.....I guess if you go out after anything its the same. If a bear or cougar wants to .... they probably aren't gona ask to see which tag your carrying first.

Do it all the time.  What's the big deal?    Your the one with the gun, right?

True we have the guns but from pics posted lately it seems the bears are taking over the treestands  this might change the whole thing

You will have to worry when they are in the tree stands holding the guns.
