Close one at the lease this weekend.

Post by Gobbler »

My brother was in his deer stand Muzzel load hunting Sunday morning. As the Sun came up he saw three Black objects coming his way across the clear cut. It turned out to be a 300 + lb. Black bear and two cubs.

As they went by around 50 yrds away down wind. The momma Bear gave out a growl and the two cubs ran up trees.

She then proceed to walk up to the tree my brother was in and look up. She came closer and started to grab the tree and my Brother started waving his hands and yelling get out of here. The Bear finally backed off the tree and walked off with the cubs.

He said he had the muzzel loader pointed at her head and if she had tried to climb the tree he was going to shoot her.

He said he never felt so alive with all the adrenaline flowing.

We have a lot of bears and they are protected. No season. I don't think the FWC would file charges with a bullet hole in the fore head of a Bear lying at the base of the tree he was hunting in.

But all ended OK.
