good story. Good job getting some grouse with your bow.

A buddy in Medford got charged this year. Shot it with his bow at four feet he said. Was a small guy that was with a sow, might have been trying to get some and mad he was there?  :dunno:

Had the same thing happen about a week ago while also deer hunting.  Somehow my son and I got between the sow and cub which ran up a tree about 40 yards behind us.  Handed the bow to my son, grabbed the pistol and started talking to her.  she stopped at about 35 and broke up the hill to her other 2 cubs and we backed down and clear of the third.  Exciting though.

Alecvg and I were charged once.  Walking through the trees in the dark and almost stepped on a cub on the trail.  The cub climbed a tree and starting calling for his mom and we could hear the bear come charging through the brush.  We backed out real fast and were OK, but sure got the blood pumping.  Glad your OK, get your deer soon!
