I'm definately not a story teller...And as a new bow hunter and almost a new hunter in general I don't have any cool stories about the one that got away...
I have had alot of awesome experiences in wildfire tho..Seeing some of the most remote wilderness areas in the lower 48...
Three years back I was at a fire called the Blackwater Complex on the Shoshone NF in Wyoming..First time in Wyoming..They flew me into Cody and gave me a briefing then were taking us to the fire which was just outside the east entrance to yellowstone..During the briefing they went on and on and on about the bears..We all had to be training to use bear spray, etc, etc..
No one thought much of it..The next day they took us out to our camp and we all started work..Few days went by and we were making progress on the fire and everything was good..Till the yelling started..First one voice then the next..I was in the command cabin that was the rangers station for the district..I walked outside to hear some people yell in camp but could not hear what they were yelling about or see them cause of the tents..So I eased on over and came around the corner of one of the tents to see a full sized grizzly sow and cub just chilling out in camp. They weren't raising any cane just kind of walking around..OH MY friends..You talk about pucker factor, thats it!
Anyway, to make a long story short the bears were around for about an hour and then just wondered back off...Alot of debate as to whether or not to spray them but in the end they just walked away..Don't think I slept much for the next ten nights!!!!
