Daa bears

[Zalic 41]

Used to be other players foot steps, gun fights and wolves that got my pulse pumping. Now it's the roar of a bear in close proximity. Ive only had one encounter close up with one, luckily i managed to get between rocks to avoid its rath but ran out of ammo and had to log out. I logged in after 20 mins and it was gone. Thank God. But since then i go way out of the way to avoid them. However i do want to hunt one and take it down. I just need to strategize more.

Strategy is key. 

I've taken down one bear on the North Eastern fringe of Zvir; I climbed up on top of the shed by the red House there and waited (I'd been hearing the roars for over 20 minutes and had scouted around until I narrowed it's location down to here.) I waited for it to come out into the open and switched my blaze to double fire. 

Aimed for the neck and fired! That only made it mad and it rushed me. For a second I thought it was going to climb up on top of the shed coz on it's hind legs, it could have done so, easily, but fortunately this is DayZ, lol! 

It took another 5-8 vaiga shots in the upper back before it dropped. 

I got approx 6 steaks and 2 lumps of fat off of him.

Certainly an adrenaline rush, but I won't be going out of my way to hunt them with such little reward unless bear skins become useful for something...
