black bear too close (bluffing)

This was too close for my comfort. Me and my girlfriend were sitting in the treestand deer hunting when we had this encounter. This bear was curious and bluff charging. I didn't scare him because I was interested.

I would of shot that bear, your right that is WAY to close for comfort! What rifle were you hunting with?

[leeandrobyn]

@StrongMindedMan411 It was her rifle 243 cal.

You were pretty much just daring this bear to attack. Instead of going out to intentionally tease these animals to get your camera shot go to a zoo.

@cornhusker221 How about read the description. I didn't even want to see a bear. I was deer hunting. He came looking for me by trailing me in with his nose to the ground. I had a camera because i was going to video her shooting a deer. What was I doing to tease him? I didn't do shit to him. He could've got a bullet to the face, but I decided to let him live. Get the facts straight before you start popping off.

So you guys saw this bear in FL? Iv heard there are a lot of them in the Ocala national forest, where u near there?

[leeandrobyn]

@ThaGVPSon Oh hell yeah there is a lot of bears in the ocala forest! We live maybe 30 mins from there. FWC releases most all the nuisance bears there. They have bear crossing signs all up on the highway that runs through it. I've seen them eating out of dumpster at a restaurant on the edge of the forest. There is probably a lot more than people even realize there.

Couple lesbians in the forest what do you expect...

[LaSigne44]

Interesting encounter. It's good that you recognized the bluff charge for what it was, but since you weren't approaching him (or her), and he repeatedly approached you, it's almost as if he wanted to engage you in play...? He looked quite young - probably a yearling.

@leeandrobyn

If he was pulling that shit with me he'd be gone!

The only time I've ever seen a Black Bear track a human was like one person stated, " A food scent " or a human female that was shall we say " OTR " ! And it doesn't have to be a male bear, a female bear might think it's competition ! Hormones can be dangerous out in the woods ! Beside's I would worry more about the Rattlesnakes, they are Huge !! Years ago I saw one cross a well used footpath. I'm not BS'n that diamondback was close to 10 feet !!

It looked like a boa with rattles glued on !
