This scared me a good bit
 

Did a little bowhunting in St Francisville this weekend. Didnt see a deer. But had a semi close encounter with this guy.

Woah!! Around where were you hunting?? I have a few pieces of prop I hunt in St Francisville. Someone just sent me a pic of huge bear yesterday not far from where I hunt off Spillman Rd. I haven't heard many reports of them in our area.

Not sure where exactly we were. It was my first time in that area. Was with a guy from Process Pipe on a lease they are on.

Early
 

I think I would have had to get down a bit early! The thought of walking around in the dark with that following me might bother me a bit....:shaking:

i texted the guy I was with and informed him that he would be picking me up at the tree! hahaha I was not about to get down

Seems like sightings are becoming a lot more common

I saw one last year.

as the video ends, he was following the trail i walked in on, 20 minutes later he came back down the trail and circled my tree twice before finally leaving. I was nervous but it was really awesome to watch one

I know I got one a big one where I deer hunt too. Aubrey and huntinfool seen the pic of the tracks.

Nope

I hunt near St Francisville. We have seen tracks, and one guy saw the bear.

they are getting more common but we still do see them all that much.

u like that ASAT leafy suit??

There are hundreds of bears with tracking collars in the state.

That bear would've heard and smelled me. It would've heard me fill my drawers and then smelled it afterwards. That would end my deer hunting for ever.

I work in FT Mcmurray Canada a lot, there was a woman killed on site by a black bear a couple months ago, she was coming out of a port a polly, when they hungry they will be aggressive, also being in that tree isn't as safe as you think, they will climb your tree to see what you are up there, I have a buddy with a video of one climbing his tree during muzzle load season, it came up to his climber, he hollered at it to scare it off and it came back with two more bears and surrounded him before sunset, he stayed in his tree till someone came for him, lol
