Black bear 8 yds on the ground face off

I had to post this story. Last night I was walking along my corn field next to the creek. I had bumped a few deer out off the Ridge next to the creek then suddenly I hear a freight train heading towards me from the corn. I turned to my left to see an adult bear staring at me 2 rows in. I was at half draw trying to decide whether to take the brisket shot. I opted not to. If he charged it would be a different story. Unfortunately he turned around back into the thick corn. I had no shot. I tossed all night thinking I could have made that shot being so close but it's over now. I hunt with a recurve and it sure would have been neat to take a bear on the ground that close! Just had to share this with everyone.

For sure it was a bit scary knowing this animal could screw me up being so close. But honestly I just went into hunt mode or survival not sure. Just wanted him to turn and stop!

You were better to not take the shot. Very cool story. There's still time left in the season and they are fattening up for the winter! Corn is good for that!

I hope to see him again I'd rather be ready next time though! And get a broadside or quarter away shot.
