It takes some marbles to stay that calm. Pretty cool experience though.

I assume he was bear hunting, since he had the logs pilled up to cover his bait. I had a bear come into my deer stand second weekend this year during the snow storm. I thought for sure it was a big buck crashing through the woods, I was 3 miles from the nearest gravel road or else i would have assumed it was a big fat hunter coming at me. So I was all excited and ready looking into the blinding snow and here comes a big fat slow moving bear crashing through the woods. I played with him for a while doing doe bleats, it was fun. I was very surprised he or she was not hibernating.

I wonder what he used on his boots as a cover scent, it seemed to me the bear was tracking that scent. Notice how he sniffed the branch that the hunter had to have rubbed up on as he climed that ladder. And yes, I would not have waited that long to move that bear off

I think I might have said something when he stood up, not when he was checking out my boot size.

I loved the guilty look on the bears face when they guy says "Hey, what are you doing there"

That video was taken two years ago by an old schoolmate of mine west of Newfolden....He's an accomplished bear hunter and does quite a bit of wildlife photography while he's scouting and hunting as well...

watched a hunting show not to long ago guys up in canada someplace they were hunting out of a ground blind they had bear come up and stick there face in the ground blind they were like 2 feet from them that was crazy

I agree frosty, I think it was funny looking at the bears guilty sheepish face, like he knew he was doing something wrong. Like when you scold a puupy. I tell you, that was some still camera work. I would have needed a whole roll of tp and a pair of depends undies.

Pretty cool, and experience most would never forget...

That was the same look my little girl gave me last night when I caught her trying too sneak some more of the wifes birthday cake.

Thats not scary wait till you have one woofing and popping its teeth at you in the dark thats when I shat myself.

Archerysniper...i can relate! i chased a bear this spring. yikes! he wasn't so happy i ran him up a tree~

I had a bear come in to my stand while I was bowhunting a few years back. It looked right at me as soon as it came out of the brush. It wandered past me, looking up at me every so often. Then it walked on a string right to the base of my tree. I didn't want it up in the tree with me so I said "go on bear" and it took off. That was the highlight of my season that year.
