[TauntoHawk]

[lhbowhunter90]

wow thats hilarious, id pee my pants if that thing started climbin my stand

 

[Timmy Big Time]

That is amazing, I had cubs in the trees my stand was in, but can not imagine one climbing my ladder stand.

 

[swardlow]

I might have jumped and let him have the stand.

 

[pappasmerf86]

i would have pooped my pants.

 

[Scoutknife15]

Woooow that guy has nerves of steel. I would have started hollerin at that thing soon as it made eye contact with me. Props to him for not just shooting it, I've got a feeling alot of people would panic.

 

[chuckatuk]

I would have waited for him to get in the stand.Then Karate chopped him....Nah he would have probably slipped from all the pee running down the ladder.LOL

Haven't had one that close to me. I was on a sit and stock hunt in oct. Iwas in dence brush and heard something a head of me.started to move slowly towards the sound and what ever it was ran to beat hell away from me. My brother in-law was on a ridge and waving his arms like he was trying to take flight. When I finaly got to him, he said man you were about 45yrds from a big bear. I thought he was trying to get my goat. To prove it to me we went down there again. I hanvt seen a paw print that big in a long time. Now we're trying to get bear tags for that area. Also seen a huge moose that week. Never saw a single deer though.

Because I didn't walk into the stand, I didn't realize immediately that the bear was tracking the guy in the stand. But it was pretty obvious by the time the bear was about 10' from the ladder. I would have long since put the camera down, and grabbed my bow. I'd be happy with a photo trophy even if I was without a bear tag. Nail him on about the 2nd rung, certainly when he was sniffing the pine bough. Wouldn't think it likely I'd see a deer after having a bear stink up the area.

Nothing like going to your stand and finding Bear Chit in it ! Friend of mine in Alaska shot one that was coming in the stand with him.
Nothing like having a bear close enough to pet..Randy

 

[scrapejuice]

[Joe W.]

Guy has really big brass ones. Cool as a cucumber.

 

[Hoosier bowman]

X2. That guy seemed very calm. The bear would be slipping down the ladder only because of all the [email protected]# coming out of me!

He was very calm, that would have been hard to do.

 

[12-Ringer]

I think I will call this guy "The Bear Whisperer....." - TWO STEPS AWAY - REALLY:mg:....... I think I may have had a few better words then - "Hey what are you doing there.....". Did you see the bear's face - almost as if he had the "oh crap" expression himself....

[MOHALucan]

I would have been headed farther up the tree......as fast as possible...lol. But I would definitely be laying a $h!t slick down as well!!

 

[mrklean]

ha have seen that bout 5 different places but still funny every time

 

[baumunkdj]

Had one start to climb my ladder a few years ago. He got all 4 paws on the ladder before I decided I should probably yell at him lol. He climbed back down and meandered away. They are just very curious animals.
