I have seen several black bears while deer hunting,
usually from tree stands.
Last season I had to give up getting in trees and
was hunting from a ground blind when a good sized
black bear came over the ridge and made straight
for me, I was ready but fortunately he turned and
went to my right about 20 yds away. He never saw me
and didn’t wind me either. About 250+lb.
I was praying he would turn as I have never shot a bear
and tend to believe it’s his neighborhood, not mine.
