I believe we have one of the highest success rates of any state, I used to take an interest in them but not anymore. Got some big ones too, over 400# get killed every year. Funny I walk the woods all the time stand placing, game camming, and scouting, never think about bears and never carry a gun. But you'll be walking along and see a saucer size track or a rotted log or stump just tore to pieces and it kinda tightens you up for a while. Only excitement I've ever had in all these years was walking into a big bull moose during the rut, that was as exciting as I ever want to experience.....long as I live! My Dad did get between a sow and her two cubs once in an old overgrown orchard and got to experience a couple teeth popping false charges. Only time I worry about bears is going after one someone didn't shoot good. They will often go in a straight line thru anything you can imagine....swamp, bog, alder thicket, spruce or fir cutover, but when you press em' and their hurt bad....they will often circle their tracks and lay there waiting....

a buddy of mine was hunting bear with a bow two years ago and he was in a tree looking over a bait and a sow and two cubs came into the bait which the sow wouldnt be legal to shoot and neither are the cubs, if she was alone another story, but anyway a boar came into the bait as well and the sow chased the cubs up a tree and ran the boar out of there but the problem was the cubs came up the same tree he was in, but they went all the way up where he was only about 12 ft off the ground when the sow came back and looked up the tree and saw her cubs up there and him up there too she got pissed and came up the tree teeth and all, took chunks out of the soles on his boots he hit the bear with his bow a couple of times and she kept coming up in the mean time trying to get the cubs out of the tree which he managed to do but the sow wasnt happy with the cubs being down she wanted to kill him finally it was dark and a full moon and all he could see was the reflection off the eyes and teeth and he drew the bow back and shot between the eyes and the bear fell to the ground and ran away, his arrow was on the ground at the bas of the tree and he never found any blood trail or a dead bear the next day.

Sounds like a lot of my own hunting experiences. At least sounds like no serious misadventures either. Good luck on the weekend stay sharp, things can happen fast when you least expect it.
See any squirrels?

Let's get back to how you met the skunk.... Or is that just what you told the wife to explain why you were wearing that much cheap perfume...

Skunked again. Busted by the game warden for hunting over bait. We hunt in Hyde County in eastern NC. Known for the largest and most populous for black bears in the world. The world record was 880 pounds, taken a few counties over, but this year they have taken several bears close to 700 lbs. out of this county, one on the property next to us. You can hunt over bait, but it cannot be processed in any form and that includes corn that has been taken off of the shuck.

Well that one wasn't on your poll, guess you had to leave it on the cob from the sounds of it. Pretty strange rule........
