um good point..

A friend of mine, Jay, north of Spokane had a deer hung next to his garage thru a gate across his driveway.

He needed some firewood that evening .
He shouldered his double bladed axe and strolled over to split a few pieces.
He opened his gate... A bear, the size of the one in this thread, was surprised while eating Jay's deer. The bear's hair stood up, he instantly dropped on all fours and charged Jay.

Jay in shock, and only about 6 feet away just grabbed the axe with both hands and swung. Total luck he hit the bear right-between-the-eyes. It crashed into him but never moved again.

He had to call a game warden and report it as a bear is big game requiring a tag etc. The game warden was there in an hour and was amazed. He gave Jay a bear tag on the spot saying he deserved it.

His garbage cans were there also. It could've been anyone just taking the garbage out, unarmed.
