Pickens county bear

[deller]

I'm close to the Pickens and Cherokee line. A few years ago I had a 500+ male crossing my property at night. He got nailed during Bear season. At the same time I had a mother with 3 cubs eating corn in my back yard.

I live in Blue Ridge. Up here, we just call those neighbors.

I have a ground blind and a tree stand in that area for use at different times and wind conditions but think I'll be spending more time in the tree this year

You do realize that bears can climb trees, right?

I do, but there are no blind spots in the tree stand like there are in a ground blind. I only keep two of the four Windows slightly open so I don't get back-lit...too easy for them to sneak up from behind.

I had a cub climb the tree next to the one I was in to get a better look at what I was. Glad he left before momma started looking for him.
Even after he left I had water tight pucker as I was getting down.

How cool is that? Wish you had video of that!
