My BEARY Interesting Sit In A Box Blind

Post by Grizzly Adam »

So ... I decided to go sit for an hour and a half or so this morning, in a box blind at the end of a path on a six-acre woodlot on my farm ... about 250 yards away from where I'm sitting right now. As I walked down the lane from our house, I noticed one bear in the field corner at the northeastern edge of this woodlot, just in front of the old cemetery. No big deal ... I don't worry about bears unless they're in my face, so I proceeded on my way.

Got in the blind with a minimum of noise and fuss. Sat down, arranged my rifle, and made like a stone.

Five minutes later, here comes MEDIUM BEAR across the path about 70 yards in front of me ... a nice 200 or so pound bear ... slipped right on through. I thought, "Hmmm ... he's scared." I know my bears.

About three minutes after that, here comes BIG BEAR out on the path about 100 yards in front of me ... a mature boar well over 450 pounds ... taking his own sweet time, of course. He meandered toward me for about twenty yards, and then slipped into the woods, while I practiced sight pictures on his vitals.

About two minutes after that, here comes TINY BEAR across the path, about 40 yards in front of me ... a little fellow of 80 pounds or thereabouts. He crosses slowly, while I practiced sight pictures on his vitals.

I just sat there.

No deer, of course.

About ten minutes later, I hear big boy slosh across the canal about thirty yards away.

I just sat there.

About ten minutes after that, here comes Junior out on the path about twenty yards in front of me, where he proceeded to graze grass and sit on his rump for about three minutes, before heading back into the woods.

I just sat there.

No deer, of course.

So ...

MEDIUM BEAR ran away from BIG BEAR ...

BIG BEAR went off in the swamp to sleep it off ...

... and TINY BEAR came back for some more soybeans.

Where did the deer go?

I don't know. :?

Not in front of me.

Wise choice, on their part. 8)

TINY BEAR better watch out.

He's just the right size for a barbecue. :D :wink:

Grizz,
Thanks for sharing that. That was a kick. You are very blessed with that property. Glad they don't bother you. :o :shock: :?

Geeze Grizz!

You get me all worked up thinking somehow that you end up in the blind with a blond chic named Goldilocks and all I get is another dissertation about your BBQ fetish!

Just wait 'till bear season opens Grizz, you'll have deer tripping over the blind and not a bear in sight if your hunting plans go like mine usually do. :lol: :lol: :lol:
