That would scare the hell outta me, especially with the cubs there.
The two I saw were about 250 years away and didn't notice me. They were too busy eating something there. I first thought I was hallucinating from being in a deer blind for awhile. "No, that's a tree stump, not a bear. Holy !@%! it's moving. It IS a bear!! There's another one!"
me too! Sheesh. There was a sow with FOUR cubs regularly vandalizing people's garbage and birdfeeders in my mom's small town, and I didn't find this out until a few weeks *after* my girls had been there, sleeping outside in a tent in the backyard!!
DNR wouldn't do anything. I was about ready to go up and sit in my neighbor's backyard with my bow, after recruiting someone to haul it away should I be successful.
