Yeah, it was neat. This is my second one. The first actually responded to my calling while I was coyote hunting. This one the wife and I walked up on while trying to determine if we are going to have acorns this year. Recent storms blows mast out of the trees and we were slipping along a ridgetop looking for acorns. That makes a difference on where we hunt come bow season. We got to watch the bear for probably five minutes. He actually bedded down in front of us for several minutes. The knats and bugs were really bad and after a few minutes he got up and meandered down the point toward the shady creek bottom below. He knew we were there but was very uninterested in us. We hunt in the elk restoration area. We have critters. This day we also saw a broken legged deer and a bobcat. And darned few acorns.

Cool to see. Not sure I would be "cool" with it if it was as close as it looks like it was.
I had my Glock 20 10mm in a chest rig...

I don't typically carry a firearm when checking my game cams. Pretty sure I would if I'd see what you have.
Cool!! Not sure why but I thought you were in the Moberly area which would be even more unusual for bear sightings.
Reynolds/Shannon County for the most part. Mostly in the elk restoration unit.

That is a pretty awesome encounter in my book! Still waiting to see my fist black bear in MO, in person that is.
