So how many of you have had a bear climbed up into your treestand? If you did encounter such occasions, how did you all reacted? This brave hunter had a bear climbed up his stand while he was video recording this, see his reaction here.
Offer him some Charmin.
well, if I was in a tree stand I would probably be hunting. At some point I’m afraid I’d have to use my weapon to protect myself..............hopefully it would still fire after being “soiled”.
Well, I imagine I’d have a cooler up there with me...
Bean him on the head with a few tall boys? I bet that would discourage him.
I would tell the bear that he is invading my safe space and if he does not retreat, I will file a grievance with my university president.
Great video! So cool. Thank you.
I wouldn’t have let him get that close. I would have made some noise as soon a he put a paw on the stand.
But made for good video, though. “OOps, my bad...wrong tree stand...”
I whish riters would learn to conjugate.
Firstly, I would have an instantaneous ‘laundry problem’.
Secondly, I hope I am armed well enough to take care of the situation. If the bear was intent on making me it’s next snack, it would then be an ‘ex-bear’, consequences be damned.
Well, if I was a liberal/leftist I would try and understand the bear, realizing that he was the victim of hunter privilege, and was entitled to recompense for his psychic damage.
Then I point out a red-neck conservative and say, “there is your enemy, go get him instead of me.”
Call Mr Ranger sir...Hey Hey Hey
Well, it’s likely I would have a bear tag and a deer tag, so....BLAM!
I usually carry a S&W 629 when I’m out and about in the woods. Great bear - or any other varmint - discourager.
Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.
Having watched this, I’d calmly ask “Hey what are you doin’ there”. Otherwise I’d have soiled my raiments.
Hunter was calm as a darned cucumber, that guy. Lol. Hey...what are you doing there? HAHAHAHA!!!! Good stuff.
Bears have poor eyesite but a great sense of smell.
If a bear started climbing up a stand, then let the bear know you’re there.
Most of the time it will run away
Classic turn and look back from the bear @2:30. Bear would have flipped him the bird but didn’t know how to stick out individual claws.
Beautiful solution! That’s just what Goldilocks might have said.
