Not aggressive. in the military we all hopped out of the cargo truck in Gagetown and formed up just off the road. Little did we know there was a bear den 8 ft in front of me and my buddy beside me. I little cub came out and ran past us. Was nerve racking but all I could think about was where is momma bear haha

Gagetown bears?

Were you bearing arms at the time?
And did you have a belted C9 Minimi or C6 7.62mm in the truck?
