One man claims he saw a bear the size of the one that was shot down in Bloke (which was enormous). Some men there were standing and the others were rounding up the cattle. The bears were frequently in the thickets in the fields of Poljane, so a female bear with her cub approached him. The man didn’t ready his gun, he only grabbed it and yelled to the bear to move back. “You better go back, will ya!” he screamed. Mama bear and her cub wanted to see what is going on. The cub then jumped up and sat on a bee hive. The pair then went to the men standing and waiting for the cattle.
