This is a must see. A black bear approaches a man in a tree stand. The bear even starts climbing the tree stand and is within, like one or two ladder rungs of the guy. Why the idiot isn't shooting the bear with something besides a camera is beyond me. If it were me, the moment the bear started climbing the ladder I would have made a rug out of him for my living room floor. The man does eventually speak up and it startles the bear who obviously did not realize that this particular tree was occupied. I guess the bear wasn't hungry, because it decided to climb back down and leave. I know this much, the guy can thank God there were no bear cubs around or else we would be reading about human remains being found on and around a hunters tree stand. Below is a link to the video.

Spending a bunch of money on high-tech scents and artificial pheromones then climbing up some prefab ladder to a fancy padded tree perch where you sip from your thermos as you wait for some hapless animal to walk right up to the barrel of your (shotgun, of course) may be popular these days, but it is for _ussies, plain and simple. I’m glad you don’t do it, cowboy!
