The first clip JC posted was the bear that I did the photo shoot with monday. No arrows flying.
Back to the story.
Tuesday while checking baits I noticed the action picking up on my original stand and decided to hunt it. JC decided it was time for a change and I dropped him of at Ray's stand which was still seeing alot of activity. Did the 2 men in and 1 out again and you already know what happened there. On to my stand. It wasn't long before I had a real nice bear with a perfect coat came in. But being real spooky he stopped just shy of the barrel and back out. About 45 min. later I here a twig snap turn to see a bear under my stand to the right. It looked just like the one I had seen earlier but a little bigger. Here I thought I would have a beautiful rug and possibly TIPPIT knife to take home. No, about 30 seconds behind her were triplets. So I hang the bow up and decide to try another photo shoot but with video still rolling. As I am taking pictures something spooks the cubs and they scatter. One decides to come visit me and climbs the tree just inches from the corner of my stand. flying right by me and the rolling video. I have never been so nervous in my life. All I could think of was the saying "Never get between mama and her cubs". I did not want to get down with mama wondering around below my stand and baby above me. I didn't think the cub would come down when he realized I was there. I had no idea what to do. So I figured that I would just sit tight and hope that a big boar would come in and chase mama off long enough for me to make a run for it. I also figured I would take the video camera off the tree pod and if I did get mauled I could record it so everyone would know what happen when they found the camera. Kind of like the grizzlyman video. Atleast you would here me screaming like a girl.
As I sat and watched mama I noticed that she did not seem aggressive at all. Just pacing and calling to the cubs. The other two cubs came down and met up with mom and the one next to me really wanted to come down but wasn't sure if it should.
Finally he decided Him or I had to go first and since I wasn't moving he was going to give it a try. Watching me the whole time he slowly came down and vocally too. He actually hung from my bow hook for a second and stopped to sniff my pack as he passed me at about 12 inches. And I got it all on video. What a relief it was to see him hit the ground and meet up with mama and siblings 20 yards behind my stand. Mama was still hungry so she came back in to eat. As it was gettng dark mama wondered back to where the cubs were and I decided to get out while I could. The family was still close by and as I was walking up the trail mama started to get more aggressive. She started woofing and popping her teeth and even false charging three times at about 10-12 yards. She paralleled me all the way to my truck and was still woofing as I was putting stuff in the truck. What a night.
Here is a picture I snapped at the cub was running by me.
Still more to come.
