Face to Face with a Black Bear in the swamp in total darkness...
Same here about 10 years ago .
I dropped off a couple buddies and drove the buggy around a head and parked it .Might a been around 5am when I started heading towards my stand and while quitely wallking down wind with out using a light I accidentally snuck up on a black bear in the palmettos.
That SOB growled as he turned around and I did was grab my rifle and put my flashlight on the barrel and got ready to shoot when he hauled butt out of there. I dont know who was more scared me or the bear.
