    Doesn't seem fair you no why the guys pit lamp or use lights, kind of blinds them and makes them stand there.
    May be a good idea to see what is there though.

    Re: Hunting alone in Grizzly country

    We had a run in last week while sheep hunting, grizzly roamed into camp, nose down in the berry’s. We got his attention (and the camera rolling) about 80 yards from the tent, once we got his attention, he started making a choking/gagging noise from his throat, each time, a big string of drool would poor out of his mouth. After 30-40 seconds of trying to get our smell, he stood up on his hinds, and gave the look that cartoon bears do before they take a run. Luckily I guess I sounded meaner then he cared to tangle with.

    Does anyone have experience with the choking sounds I was hearing? He was woofing and snapping his jaws a bit, I wonder if the choking sounds were another, scare tactic maybe?

    I’ll share a couple photos I snapped from the video, which I did a bit of editing on. We only had one gun on this hunt, I think that will change next year.

    Decker, glad it worked out for you, and the bear. Pretty neat pics.

    Perhaps the "choking" sounds were just the bear clearing what he was in the process of eating. I had a very similar situation 3 years back, except I walked up on the bear at about 20 yards that was feeding at a creek crossing. He also stood woofed " and made some other wierd noise" just before he dropped back on a fours and exited

    Those photos turned out really good with the background. Amazing shots but I also have no camera skills lol

    With out being able to hear what you experienced it’s hard to be sure if I am thinking the same sound. If it’s what I am thinking of it’s something I have heard when a bear has been startled or agitated but does not realize what’s going on. Basically a bear going WTF well taking a defensive stance. I don’t know if I would call it gaging/choking sound but kinda flemmy huff growl.

    I could be thinking a completely different sound but it’s hard to explain what I mean or be sure what you heard. If it is the same one I view it as a confused/agitated response

    yes, have had this happen while I was parking the truck to start work. Just as I was pulling over we noticed two large grizzlies feeding about 30m away on the edge of brush. The sow turned and saw us then bolted but the boar started huffing and making growly and gurgly noises and drool was pouring out of his mouth then he charged! It was spring so we guess that we interrupted his courting.
