During the past two months of scouting for my location to set up my deer hunting stand, I've seen a large (approx. 350 lb.) bear crossing the poleline in the area I intend to Archery Hunt for Deer. I've seen the bear seven times this past two months. I've also seen deer, including a nice Nine Pointer in velvet in the same area. My question is: will the deer stay in the same area as the bear?
I've been told to locate another area for deer hunting but I question, WHY?
