There are more on Youtube, of course. I ran out of time screening videos to post. I never found the one I had seen previously where the bear makes it up to the guy's boot, sniffs it a couple of times, and then goes wild trying to bite it and grab it before being shoo'd down the ladder. The guy was being calm like these other hunters and the bear seemed calm and curious like these bears, but turned on the hunter very fast.
My hat is off to all these hunters for remaining calm and cool. I think that had I been in any of those videos, there would likely be a dead bear at the bottom of the ladder.
