A curious, adult Black Bear visits a hunter in a tree stand!
« on: December 03, 2011, 05:05:34 pm »

The guy shooting this video is deer hunting from his tree stand, when an adult-aged black bear moseys into the clearing directly below his tree.
 
What the bear does when it looks up the tree and sees the hunter may surprise you. I personally think its an "oh crap!" moment, but this guy has got to be one cool customer ... either that, or he had a video camera in one hand and a .44 magnum in the other!

The moral of this story must be ... "if confronted by an adult-aged black bear, just be calm and act cool ... then merely ask the bear a question."
  Ya got'ta turn your audio up so you can hear this,Ya just won't believe it unless you hear it for yourself ! ! .

I can believe that. It just proves that animals are just afraid of humans as humans are afraid of animals. Unless they are really hungry or you are messing with their offspring they would rather avoid a person. Why do you think that people have to hunt animals?

Every time I see that I wonder what he expected to find at the top of that ladder and if he had been up there before.

Bears don't have the best eye sight, he probably thought there was another bear up the tree.
