3 times I've had bear encounters that were not exactly comfortable


1. Windy day walked up on a 400lb one in Jefferson National Forest, he was bedded in some laurels and never heard me coming, he almost ran me over but veered off at about 10 feet away. Gun season but it was on my shoulder.
2. I had one scent trail me to my tree stand during archery (I filmed it), he started climbing my ladder and I said Hay! real loud twice and he slowly left.
3. During muzzleloader season 2 years back I was ground hunting by a large downed tree, I see a good size bear (350lbs) coming up the trail I'm on, I stand and say "Leave Mr. Bear", he doesn't gets about 15yds away and I say "hey Bear go on", he then stands up and starts snapping his jaws but turns to go back down the hill. Next thing I know he growls, whips back around snapping his jaws and takes 2 steps towards me then runs sideways to the adjacent ridge. When they snap there jaws they are really mad, btw.
