This is no shit!!! This past Monday one of our lease members wife was coming home not a mile from our place and saw a big bear running up the fence line towards the road! A presumably large male with a white patch covering it's fore head. It stood up and faced her and then retreated back in the direction he came from. This all happen within a couple hundred yards of my tree stand that I killed my buck out of last year! Needless to say, that I will be packing a side arm with me this year while I am bow hunting! Lol
