ruttinbuc Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 This morning I went right to the woods and sat for a couple hours. It was a glorious morning. I saw a bachelor group of 5 bucks with the biggest being a small 8 pt with a 6pt and three fork horns. Feeling the hit from working all night I decided to try for my doe another day..... I got to the ground, pulled my last five steps, reeled in my strap to my bow and and headed out. I walked right into .....BEARS!!! Needless to say I was a bit nervous as I fumbled with the camera trying to get good light and focus. Sows with cubs will do that to you..... Had I stayed in the tree I probably could have kept a little more composure for the exposure...dang, I left too soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerforged Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sure looks like a collar on one of them. Great pics, can't blame you for being a little unnerved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 did i see a radio collar on that bear?? Yes, that is a radio collar. She was probably relocated here after maybe being a problem somewhere else in the state. Saw more bears in the last 4 years than I have in the previous 30. you mean ol' momma and her babies scared you :p:D:D Great pics! Thanks, toddy, Not that I was petrified... , but they did turn up the pump a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Cool pics! Nice looking bears. Momma and cubs can be a little dangerous, but they're fine as long as you keep your distance and don't get in between them. Still though, woulda got my pump pumpin a little harder too!

ThethirdI Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've only encountered a bear one time up close and it was in the dark. Luckily I realized that I was getting close and was able to back off. He was huffing at me and I had to check my drawers when he finally wandered off and I made it to my stand. That's the most scared I've ever been in the woods. EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
