A friend and I were bowhunting one year and we both
had gone to our stands.We were hunting in the mountains
of Virginia where there are a lot of black bears here where
we live.So after it was time to come off the deer stand I
went down off the mountain down by the creek where the
old trail we walked in and waited for my friend to come on
out.It had gotten dark by then and I could see his flashlight
coming out of the mountain till he hit the trail and started
walking down it.For some reason I thought it would be fun to
scare him.I got behind a large oak tree and put my bow down.
Walking down the path about the time he got to my tree he
had no idea I was there I let him get about 10 feet past it and
I screamed out as loud as I could sounding out like a Black bear
and took off running towards him and scared him so bad the
flashlight went up and down about 5 or 6 times and he dropped
to his knees it scared him so bad.Never laughed so hard in my
life before.He threatened to get me back for a week for that but
even he thought it was funny after he thought about it.Even
today I stiil chuckle about that time as such good memories always
last.
