Thievin' Bears
Couple of pics of the twins and momma at the mountain pond last month. We had an interesting encounter with them Saturday night. Yesterday was the start of our muzzleloader season and a friend of mine killed a nice 7 point buck. We hung him on the hanging pole beside the cabin to let him cool out before we skinned him and processed the meat today. We had just started watching the Alabama/LSU football game when one of us walked out on the porch to get a beer from the cooler. He glanced over at the deer and there was the sow and twins eyeballing the deer. They were probably thinking they at hit the jackpot and dinner was about to be served. To make a long story short after running them off the third time they finally took the hint and gave up on the deer. That is the first time we've ever had a bear try to poach one of our deer.

Good luck hunting, Joe!
Leave it to those bears, lol! Best of luck to you out in the field Joe and have some fun while you're out there will ya!?!
Those are great bear pictures and a good story too....
they are growing and growing!
I am surprised you won out with the bears. They must not have been too awfully hungry. Be safe out there.
What a wonderful sight. Of course after the encounter on the porch I would have brought the cooler inside. Congrats to your friend on the ML buck.
Thanks for sharing.

catching up from being away .. amazing the bears gave up! Good luck in hunting!
We started seeing bear sign near our cabin last fall. We also have a game pole outside and our worry is having a bear get close to the cabin. Glad you saw them before they tried to take the buck!
Awesome bear pictures...and Good Luck hunting!
When i lived in Florida i had a black bear license plate, a beautiful animal. Richard
Great hunting lodge story Joe, one I'm sure all of you will remember. Nice shots of momma and cubs.
