The bear that ate my stand was gone, but returned around 8am - I climbed the tree and hunted, when he returned assumed it was he since was alone and BIg, watched him for awile, then spooked him off by slamming climber against the tree

Like I said very curious, numerous times they will come to the bottom of tree and stand up and try and wind you-little nerve wrecking but you get used to them, they like to crap where they feed, cornfields will get destroyed by them, several rows deep from the edge and bear poo everywhere

actually I hate being in the woods with them
