Scott Ferrenberg and Alan Townsend were gone for scouting and saw a bear coming their way.

Then they realized there were two bears instead, and they attacked and Townsend was shocked.

They were carrying a handgun and a bear spray.

Ferrenberg ran towards the bear and sprayed that bear spray and somehow managed the situation.

Townsend said, ''We were making complacency mistakes.''
