RE: Dealing with black bears while deer hunting
This past weekend I saw a bear at about 50 yards in the woods where I am hunting and it just turned and slowly walked away, but it was unnerving. If it were dark, even worse.
While setting up my stand I noticed the tree I am in has alot of deep clawmarks on it where it looks like bears have climbed it.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the normal reaction of a black bear is to a hunter walking into or out of the woods as I have never had the opportunity to find out.
