Account
While tracking elk into timber beside a clearcut, the witness felt watched and noticed silence, then saw a bear run off. Shortly after, the witness smelled a strong odor and watched a large dark form staying hidden in dense brush that seemed to move with and toward him. The standoff involved limbs and dirt clods thrown toward the witness, grunting, crying and woofing sounds, and brush movement suggesting a charge. The witness fired two shots into the air, ran to the road, and heard crashing moving down a ravine.
