bear reports?

[runamuk]

We went we saw deer.....
and I was ATTACKED by a vicious wild animal .....ok so it ran past me a mach 10 and shweeked while trying to steal almonds.....but Chipmonks are dangerous and have red hate filled eyes and attack or nearly attack he almost touched me the freak

 ...... oh and there are birds that imitate a fighter pilot or a didgeridoo and if they are doing those maneuvers over the meadow and  forest you have been calling into well they sound like a bear huffing..... oh and deer get seriously pissed off when they discover they have been tricked....huffy even..... no bears but lots of bear damage....

I took my 13 year old cousin on his first bear hunt saturday.  It started out as a text book hunt.  We walked up the mountain to a clearcut, glassed up a big chocolate had him broadside at 170 yards and set up for the shot. And..... he missed.   It was a ton of fun and he had a good time. I think he is hooked on bear hunting now.  I really thought i would be posting a pic of a dead bear on here today.  Oh well thats the way it goes sometimes.

I've came across 4 bear since opening day too... possibly duplicates on different days but saw 2 together in a cut for sure. I have only seen one bear in season before this last week  scouting is paying off.

8 bear so far this season, only one good shot but was not sure of size so let him walk- well run away! he winded me I think.

Gotta buddy at work who's wife called and said that there was a bear in their backyard, she said for me to get a tag and take care of it (looks like I have plans this weekend  ). She is mad at said bear because it destroyed her bee box that she set up for honey.

Runamuk - I had the same experience.... not with the angry chipmunk... those are eating all my bait for the blackies and pissed off when I don't replenish quick enough.

Did have an experience with that damn bird your talking about.  At first it was a ways off so I was thinking it was a bear huffing too.  Then it flew directly overhead and dive bombed me a few times with that god awful noise, damn near gave me a heart attack the first few times.  If they were legal and I had my shotgun it would have been game over for disturbing such a nice evening hunt.

been out 3 times, seen three bears, missed a shot on the opener, my hunting partner put one in the dirt today hopefully the streak continues

  8 bears since the season opened???  That is amazing!  You must have a very good spot.  Hope you get one soon!

they are an amazing bird aerodynamics better than a fighter pilot but will scare the begeezus out of you......and they seem to get some sort of pleasure from it as well

I had the same experience with that damn bird. A friend of mine did too on another occasion. Sounds like a bear or deer snort!!!!!
