RE: 2 Question Post!!! Please Help me Out!!!
I agree with cardeer.I believe some truth has been stretched a bit,or a lot.Black bear are just as scared as you.I cant imagine that they are so hungry as to be all over a hunters deer in a few short minutes.If you left it overnight I can see it,but not in 20 minutes.
Also as was reported,deer have trouble figuring out where or what a loud noise from a gun is.Thats why they sometimes just go back to eating or walking or whatever when someone misses.Some will even run towards the sound because they dont know where it came from.
I think the buck will indeed be back but if this is his bedroom area you need to be scent free as possible and in the stand early before he gets home.
As for the 32,you would be better off throwing a handful of rocks at a bear.You are carring a 7mm mag,thats enough protection but you can buy some pepper bear spray and carry that on your belt...Good luck
