i pulled a trail can down by my mothers today and thought i would take a quick walk up the mountain and set it by a common deer trail. i was wearing a tank top, shorst and flip flops of all things as i had not planned to go up there but i had time so off i went. found 2 big berry filled bear poops that were fresh as could be on the way down, gives ya that funny feeling as you look at your toes and flip flop.... found the tree i wanted to use o a good trail. was kneeling setting it up when i hear hmmmpfffff hmmmpffffff! about 75 yrads away over a knoll! scared the Be-Jesus out of me!!!! i could then hear it walking and no doubt it was a pretty big bear that the locals have been seeing often. got the camera set and walked at a steady pace looking over my shoulder back on down the mountain. i have saw them often up there but that was the first time one had starteld me like that. can't wait to check the trail cam next weekend.
Cool brother , sure puts things into perspective on who is who in the woods :rolleyes:
yaaaaaaa i am NOT the Alpha up there and that is as it should be. maybe YOU can wrassle with him when ya come up??
Next time you should wear your runnin shoes!! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
How far is that from my ground blind????
right by the second ground blind, bear was just down from there and over that little knoll, the trail cam is there now.
I'm not scared are you scared?!!!!!!
!
Kenny... Take your Flip Flops along with you when ya go hunting... Might bring you some luck... :dunno: ...
... mike ...
You get him in close for me and I'll wrassle him , ooohhh and I'll need to borrow your big knife though. :D
I am only scared of our griz. They really like to maul people and eat them. :scared:
Every black bear I have run into, runs away, fast. :eek:
Maybe I'll get a crack at him very shortly......I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Get this one skinned and I'll bring you another'n!
It is a blessing that there are things out there bigger than we are. I think one of the biggest things we have to fight is our own arrogance. Mortality, weather, the vastness of the Universe, God...

you got that right crazy sister!!! that is why i LOVE BIG wilderness, mountains, rivers and creatures. they belong, they are the boss, we are a mere intruder for a few moments in time...
Something to consider when bears exist in your hunting area. Try growing some fruit trees. Apple, peach or even a pair.
:D
the big boy is hanging around ONE loaded apple tree at the bottom of the hill, he has been spotted there a few times now. also feeding on berries where the mountain got logged a few years ago. i believe this is the bear that walked in front of Woodchucker last year in the rain.
That place sounds dangerous!!!I'm only huntn there this year if im with Drew. His old bones prevent him from outpacing me, and if worse comes to worse a sharp poke to the calf and I'm home free! Maybe even use him as bait! :readit: :laughing:

To hunt that bear if running is a requirement, I'm in real trouble...... :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
:biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Ron,
Us old guys can stay back and drink that blue juice and let the young'ins have fun with that bear!
i think the bear got Ray!!!!!!!!
Maybe he can't run either..... :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
I bet Kenny can run in flip flops, or at least he was thinking about it.
the ole flippers would have been go in the first 2 steps if it came to that!
I would be surprised if he doesn't chew that camera into pieces. I have had 2 destroyed by them. God Bless
Ken,,
did you shower? what you heard could have been him gagging? :smileystooges:
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Charlie :bigsmyl:

He's not all mint jelly. There's some horseradish on the side.

I agree with the general consensus: let's get rid of the flip-flops! :readit:
My wife startled me out of bed early this morning, 'BAT IN THE HOUSE'. Now am sitting on my spinning chair in the middle of the living room with a longbow and a flu flu with a Deadhead on it, and I am 'ascared' and nervous. I think my bear chasing days are behind me, you guys go get him.
Charlie.... :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Pavan, get a crab net. Goes well with zoris.
Oh, and if the bat is bothering someone, that someone can use the net. Just sayin'...
Killdeer :biglaugh:
I once read in a book about bear attacks that there was no record of a black bear climbing more than 33 feet up a tree after somebody. That makes 34 the magic number.
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: I climb trees as well as I run...... :dunno: :dunno:
I have seen bears a lot higher than 34 feet up trees, not any 400 pounders, but big enough. Seen one trying to get at an eagle nest once on a canoe trip, we stopped to bother it, so it would leave the nest alone. The bear had a few choice words for us as it slid down the tree.
On another note, I don't have any crab nets nor can I find that bat. A bat in your house is worse than a tick on your butt.
We had one in here for about three days.
There is a lot of clutter. :rolleyes:
That was one happy bat once he got out!
Killdeer
Better bats in your house than bats in your belfry!!!
Who has the scariest claws, the bear or the feet them flip flops is carrying?
