Went out with Ebony..towards Horsefly..back in there I started seeing lots of fresh bear poop. .then up the mountain stopped by snow..again..
Then stopped at back side of a little lake..let Ebony out, fed her dinner...4:30 pm..Ebony disappeared behind the truck then she barked..woof..woof ..woof..defiantly my dogs bark..but before I could say anything I hear a GRRRRRRR ROAR..and simultaneously my dog comes whipping around the truck..wheeling on her 3 legs followed by a 6 1/2 foot boar black bear . I yelled HEY BEAR HEY BEAR..which caused the bear to immediately turn and hit the bush..Ebony tucked herself firmly between my legs shaking terribly...
The bear did not actually touch Ebony..but was only feet away when I shouted..the bear did not continue on after my intervention...
Called it a day after that..bears are out and cranky..lol..
Contimplating heading out there for the weekend....
Lots of sign at 3200 foot level
