Is it just me or do you other guys have any trouble with bears after they have been hit good?

Black bear or grizzly?
Never had a wounded aggressive black bear in over 20 yrs. of guiding/outfitting. Maybe it's luck but 99% pick flight over fight, the 1% just sat there looking.

Not really had any problems. I had one blackie run towards me after being hit, but honestly I don't think he intended to come at me, I just happened to be in his way as he tried to run away from whatever just happened to him.

How are you hunting? Bait and wait? Spot and stalk?

I spot and stalk. I asked the question because my friends were over visiting and conversation turned to hunting and everyone agreed that i have more than my fair share of bears that come at me after being hit hard. Dan

I wish I could say from the first hand, but all I have is the print and I believe that BC has the most aggressive Black Bears in the continent. I have had two Michigan Black Bears try for a piece of me. They were pursued with dogs, both were wounded. Neither left me with any major scars, just fond memories. Far and away most bears here will attempt to get away.

Spring bear in BC can somtimes be a pain in the ass... weather,wind, tides & they are hungry and you are good food supply. Two years ago on Vancouver Island, I was on a spot and stalk...I had made a stalk on a nice blackie along a beach, on a belly crawl keeping him in sight as he made his way towards me and I to him. There was a small rise on the beach and that terrible pop-it seaweed kept snaping as I crept closer. I lifted my head to get a better view and he was about 35 yards and closing the distance "Quickly!" I popped to my knees and put a 338 , 250 gr. Nosler Partiton into his neck. I saw blood shooting out and I frickin' froze not reloading ASAP as my Dad always told me. By the time he was 15 yards I jacked another into the rifle and caught him with a glancing blow in the right eye that flipped him on his side. My third round went into his chest when he was down...I quickly reloaded, back well away from him and waited. I saw the last bit of steam come out of the hole in his side and counted my blessings...20 15/16th skull, near 7'. I'm sure he wasn't ready to have his day end this way but neither was I.

Seems to me walking about on the beach with a 300 BAR and kevlar underwear should be your go to method.

What a thrilling hunt.

Part of my job is dealing with problem bears.
In 10 years, I have had to put down 12 bears (all black, thank goodness) I have never had a black bear travel more than 50 feet, and never had one come at me after being shot.
When I am attempting to move grizzlies away, I stay right beside my vehicle, but any grizzly that I have had to deal with moves away without showing any aggression to me.

I know of two guys this year that were bitten when trying to pull the dogs off of the bears during training season. Another that was run over. But that is not a normal year most of the time no trouble.

I had one take a swipe at me as I was pulling the dogs away from the tree so my son could shoot it. My hunitng buddy said the paw missed my head by about 3 inchs. I think that would have hurt.

Most of the time no trouble but as with any thing with claws and teeth they can and do hurt people.

Hi: Nice to read all the replies . I was curious about other hunters experiences.I have never been bitten or clawed but i have had a few that seemed that they planned on doing so before they died.I used to bear hunt solo but now especially at dusk i always have a back up shooter.I think bear are a great challenge when you find them and then sneek up for a shot great meat to if you treat it right.
