bear encounter

Recommended Posts

Well got this mornings hike off to a good start. I went to check my cams I put out on May5th. About 10 mins into my hike I come to a bend in the trail and something catches my eye. There stands at 15 feet!! Im guessing 200 pound cinnimon bear. I have seen alot of bears up close and been on a few hunts. Im not to far off on my guess. He turned around and stepped into the trail and just stood there watching me. In that split second he turned toward me I pulled my 45 out. Thinking there might be cubs. He or she stood for about 10-12 seconds then walked out into the trees up hill. I then pulled my pack off and snapped a few pics but he was walking in and out of the brush. After checking my 3 cams I got some good stuff.

Great pictures! And yes, if that bull keeps that up he is going to be a good one!

To bad I didn't get drawn, hes been there every night, the camera is just on the edge of flash range to where the animals cross. When I put that cam up in the tree a month ago I was breaking braches off to set up the cam, a bull started to bugle at me then I could hear it run off breaking brush. I almost fell out of the tree! I guess he though another bull was in the area
