The second time Lin bagged a bear was after he served in the military. He and his father were hunting muntjac at Maxishan, a three-day trek from the village. Lin hid in a tree and blew on a piece of bamboo to mimic a muntjac's barking call. But to their consternation, the sound attracted a bear!
林淵源第二次獵熊是當完兵後，有次他和爸爸在馬西山（距部落 3 天路程）打獵，為了抓山羌，他躲在樹上以竹子吹出像山羌的叫聲，沒想到卻引來了黑熊，父子倆走避不及，林淵源才以獵槍將之射殺。
