Title: Letting the bear go...
Post by: Alpinegus on October 03, 2013, 05:53:20 AM
I was out muzzle hunting for deer this past weekend. Standing by a tree checking out a set up for deer. I caught movement out the corner of my eye and a +/- 150 black bear comes in behind me and stands at 32 feet. It did not realize I was there until I pulled back the hammer.
Having shot 3 other bear in the 150 to 200 lb range, I decided I did not need this bear...unless it got attitude.
I would rather wait for a bigger bear or a buck.
It was fun to watch the bear look at me and then away several time until it finally decided the hammer sound was not all that great, and it wandered off.  :)

Bears are one of the funner animals in the woods to watch. Lots of character

That's cool! Last year deer hunting I talked myself out of taking a bear with my second tag. He was about 40 yds or so. I enjoyed the heck out of watching him. They sure are neat animals.
