Default 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.

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....

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.

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 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.

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.

Isn't there a rubber broad head for these situations?
