I got to the base of my stand where it is very brushy, I was halfway up the tree and there was a big black bear sitting on a log about 18 steps away. I was bowhunting for deer but still had a valid bear tag in my pocket, how cool is this. I procceded up the tree slowly she was faced away from me, and I say she because the sow had three cubs with her which made her illegal and unethical to shoot. I did manage to get my bow in my hand before she got nervous. The 3 cubs came scampering from all directions, I was almost inbetween them YIKES!!

share a story with me
