If that bear didn’t have a taste meat bag hidden, those hikers would have been the cache.

Or a heavy club to beat them off with.
Here's a video from a guy with a GoPro camera on while suddenly attacked by a black bear in Japan while climbing:

See how suddenly the attack comes. Imagine if this were a brown bear. Climbers try to keep their equipment light, so they avoid heavy weapons. Bears and bear attacks are increasing in Japan. Climbing mountains in their territory isn't wise, because the humans are at a disadvantage if attacked.

What I have had, wasn’t gamey.
Interesting. It tasted as good as elk does to me, and I like elk a lot.
