Thanks fellas. If I am being honest, she let me go in the end. If the sow finished that first charge into my stand, it would have been over right there. I was totally unprepared since I was focused on taking pictures. There was a TON of luck involved. It all worked out for the best and it sure is fun thinking back and sharing it. I'll never forget this experience!

I think when she saw the knife in your mouth and your back turned toward her she thought,"That is one crazy son-of-..... right there", and decided to let you walk  :bigsmyl:

Now that IS funny! The bear passed on me.  :biglaugh:

I would have made a decent meal with all my winter fat still in place! The taste would be gamey though. Maybe some tenderizer, onions and garlic would help?   "[dntthnk]"

Charlie you lucky old cuss! Congradulations on your bear, your trip, and coming back not dead after that story I read, I was attacked by a whitetail once  I don't think I could imagine the raw power of a bear. Once again congradulations!

Thanks Levi! I hope to be out hunting with you guys in a few more months. It would be good to see you in camp again. You will have to fill me in on the whitetail next time I see ya.
