I've had a couple big sows with twins and triplets right behind my cabin and got some great video of them, but until this turkey season I had never run into one while I was actually out hunting and I've had the place up north since 1973. Just as it was breaking day when I was going out to get set up I looked down the two track I was on and saw what I thought was a deer coming toward me. As it closed the distance I then realized that it was a decent size bear that was probably at least 250#. He kept coming until I finally decided that my turkey loads weren't quite enough to do serious battle with him, so I waved my arm and made a loud "shush" that stopped him. He looked me over and I waved one more time and he just turned and jumped down into the swamp and was gone to my delight.
