And one of the most frightful experiences of my life happened when i was 17 i believe. I slept overnight in my ground blind on the field i intended to elk hunt in the morning. About 2 am i hear some crunching in the brush behind me, I am a little worried at this point because i have no idea what is behind me. As it approached out walks a little black thing beside the blind, a bear cub. So at this point the gun was loaded in record time and i hoped like heck momma wasn't around.
I just have to ask two questions. Why were you sleeping in the woods with bears? And, while knowing you were sleeping in the woods with bears, why didn't you have your gun loaded?
I used to have a pet buck. I know that don't really count but that is the closest one.
