BH,
 From everything I've read or seen in PBS specials, I would say you guy's were more than lucky than anything else :o
  I guess the idea of being in a large group with weapons makes some people feel "safe".
  I'm guessing the bears had a another kill or something that kept them occupied?
  I think I'd invest in a Bear Fence for camp, or at least the Sleeping tent area? A clean camp is more than a good idea too.
  IF a bear decided to come into camp at night, having 8 guys running around and possibly shooting would really be a bad scenario.
