Busted by a bear
« on: October 15, 2022, 04:33:20 PM »
Well so far this season has been a few "almosts" and this morning was no exception..... at 0800 I saw a bear running towards me .... must've been the 2 donuts I had for breakfast ,,,, after flailing around to get set up the knock detached and before I knew it he was within 15 yards and he heard the clank ...  he stopped and slowly turned around and left ..... heres the video https://youtu.be/UfC6BS0Lwgo ... son of a biscuit ...... maybe one of these almosts will turn into a better story ........

good luck

Man Grazan---it almost looked like you were doing a dance when that bear was on the inbound-slow down....breath in/breath out ;)

PS--I'm very happy that a camera wasn't rolling every time I got busted or goofed up a shot-- more than I want to admit!

I would definitely prefer a buddy system with filming flip the coin to see who shoots

unfortunately most of the times when I flip the coin I'm the only one standing around to call it .... its tough to get someone to showup on time to go hunting so going solo knows no excuses ..... filming just adds another layer and alot of the times watching the video afterwards I actually learn something I didn't notice in the woods but to each his own ......

So there is no misunderstanding!   My not good bull comment was directed on getting busted and the amount of times that I have goofed up a shot in my days.  I did enjoy your video.

THXS ... TO be honest I don't even understand those things and I'm an IT guy .... now if I can only figure out a way so this thing called a job stops getting in the way of hunting I'll get back out there again .....
