Would this bear encounter make YOU nervous?
« on: August 11, 2011, 10:23:59 PM »
Went out for a hike in an area that I like tonight and this little guy walked out in front of me. Never did see the mother but was sure on the alert. After a few moments, the little guy just disappeared back into the woods. It was a very cool sight for me to see. I always love to see the new replacements show up for future big guys.

Thats cool.  Yes I would be a little on edge until I put some distance from that little guy.

Nice! I ran into a little guy like that last year in the woods.. I was a little nervous looking for momma bear, but I was heavily armed and not alone. If I was unarmed then yeah I would probably sneak very quietly away.
