Sunday, had me in the stand around 3 PM. I couldnt wait to see what would come in next! About 5, I had 2 bears out at about 80 yards. They came in very cautious as the others had. They got to about 35 yrds out and locked up. The farthest bear turned and walked back from where it came from. The close bear, was the 3rd bear from the night before. He sat for a few minutes testing the air. He then turned and trotted off.
about an hour later, a lone bear made its way toward me, but only to stop right were the last bear stopped.This one bolted out of there. Im now starting to think that I dont smell so good.
I had a total of 5 different bears come in, only to run or walk off. About 730, the first two bears came back in again, they ran out of there and stopped out at about 70 yrds "woofing" at me.
Again, i was argueing with myslef whether or not to climb down or stay the rest of the evening, afraid to bump a big bear off the stand. The whitetail hunter won out and i got out early. A check of the trailcam the next evening showed that the 2 bears that ran off came back 10 mins after I climbed down. I was alittle discuraged.
The next day had me running alittle late, but i made sure that I showered up before the hunt. again about 545 PM I had a bear come in and lay down at 45 yrds.
