WOW ok very eventful hunt for me n the mighty stitch this evening, we put out a bunch of grain, some peanut butter n maple syrup licks, and homemade oat/mollasses/peanut butter bars and a new vitamin bar we make out of prenatal vitamins for the pregnant does. We got our cameras rdy, had been sitting there for maybe 45 mins n she perks up, i hear something coming at us slowly n get rdy to ahoot some photos, and then BLAM around the tree pokes the head of the biggest south carolina black bear i ever done seen lol. I immediately told stitch shhhh still, her command for quiet and dont move, grabbed my 44 mag rifle (i bring it for just this reason) and then said howdy bear letting it know im there, aince we were in a camo pop up blind i didnt want to surprise it. Im not joking when i said "howdy bear" stitchy looked at me like i was the biggest idiot shed ever seen lol. We began backing away and it went to watching us n eating all the deer snacks, once we were 50 yards away i snapped a few more pics. Its the firat time she seen a bear and i think shes of my opinion its better to not see them lmao. I gotta say she did extremely well during the encounter, she made no moves to provoke the bear, stayed at my side, and everyone went their own way happy n the bear with a belly full of yummy goodness lol. but for a moment i was worried the bear was gonna force me to shoot it, i just calmly kept talking softly and we backed outta there. I told stitchy that the mighty hunters just ran into a mightier hunter, but we got our photo shots anyways heh. nothing else to report, gonna get things rdy for tomorrow mornings hunt, im hoping to get a pic of a beautiful honey brown n pure white piebald yearling. Ill post a pic if we capture one. I hope everyones enjoying their evening....shawn
