Was bowhunting a few years back in the national forest. I had walked about there or four miles off the main foot trail to this area i found on topo maps. I managed to spike up a tree to get some elevation, saw some does, and saw one massive boar black bear, the bear walked by at about 60 yards, no shot plus i was deer hunting. Got down right at dark and started my long walk down the mountain. got about 100 yards and something snarled at me, turned the flashlight forword and about 20 feet away was the bear, he stepped forward at me and swatted a bunch of leaves and dirt right at me, i put my bow up on top of my head and after a short stand off which seemed like forever the bear took off. Extremely scary ranks right up there with the time i got lost in Yosemite when i was 12 when i went hikingand spent half the night in the woods until the ranger found me.
