Well we did the hiking first then decided to do some fishing at my SECRET fishing stream
I did haul in a cooler and a small folding table 4 fish latter catch and release the boys wanted a sandwich . So I slice the bread ,made up the PBJ 's and poured out the punch . 1/2 a sandwich latter the boys are back to fishing .
What to my wonderous eyes should appear but 2 small bears probably in the 75 -90 lb range trying to get into the left over sandwiches . I am guessing they were twin yearlings out on their own for the first time .As I neither heard nor saw a MOMMA bear around .Personally I thought it was NEAT but the boys were somewhat Apprehensive
Their first up close experience with bears Took a few pictures and EXPLAINED to the boys WHY we could NOT play with them . Typical for their size both bears and kids I could NOT keep from laughing ,Certainly wish I had the Video cam with me . The talking between ourselves did NOT scare them away .Not sure If I should have chased them out or not .Thought it was a good learning experience for the boys .But now I am having second thoughts . As the Crow flies the nearest house was 12-15 miles away .
What would you guys have done
