No, but had one growling at me at about 3 feet away in the dark. Was walkiing to my deer stand in the early morning. Turned last corner and there he was. No light, camera flash was only light I had with me. Got a nice picture. Never been so scared. Black Bear. Had another 7 feet eye to eye fifteen feet off the ground. I was in a tree stand he was standing on a rock formation right next to me. 15 foot drop off between us. Stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Than he went and sat on the trail I had to walk out on until after dark. I was a bit nervous leaving the stand. He was 10-20 yards off the trail when I walked by. Did not see him just heard him moving.

Yes mark i remember that day very clearely everyone left to go to the bathroom that night all our family members then we looked behind us saw the bear approaching us. I was next to your brother in the middle of you two then the bear decided he was going to walk up to us and snif your face. It was shocking and the bear was only about a foot from my face!

No, I think that would be a fairly unique experience......

Wow...That's a great experience!!!!You could tell that to your grandkids someday.......

No but if it ever happens I will double the danger by planting a pile of wolfbait!!!!!!

in rifle season of '07 i had an 8 point buck raking a tree not 2 feet from where i was sitting. Yes i was sleeping,and the thing is he was a 135 class deer. as soon as i saw him he saw me and took off. havnt seen him sense

I did have an eight point buck sniff my boot while out scouting a week before bow hunting. I saw the buck heading in my direction as he stepped out of a corn field. I laid down in a row of cut hay next to the corn and the buck walked up sniffed my boot and sprang staight up in the air. Once he returned to earth he ran back into the corn. I never saw him at all during bow season that year. Probably still running...

i would probobly start to cry if that happend to me
