Tuesday was also the opening day of Bow Season in CT (Deer & Turkey). I took Tues & Weds off and hunted. Saw a lot of Does, Fawns and Turkeys. Saw one decent 8 pointer, but he didn't come into Bow range.
Had a very, very close encounter with a Black Beer at 7:40 of opening morning. I heard a loud noise up the ridge and movement caught my attention. To my surprise, a 300lb bear came slidding down a tree that I had walked under earlier that morning, heading to my pop-up blind. He then meandered down one of the game trails that I had hoped a large buck would come down. He continued slowly until he was under 20yds from me. He sniffed around a bush for a few minuutes and then wandered of into the brush behind my blind. That sure got my blood pumping!!
If there were a Bear season in CT, it would have been a chip shot...
