Got permission from a family member to put in a foodplot on his property.
Started working on it 2 weeks ago.
Went to check a cam this morning and on the way back to my truck, a medium sized bear popped out and started following me.
Now, I've been hunting bear for over 40 years and have killed about 60 of them and knew right off something wast right. It followed me step for step as I was walking backwards towards my truck at about 25'. Did not show any aggressive postures but was unnerving seeing it watching/ following/ stalking me.
All I had with me was a Stanley 25' tape measure. Enough was enough.
I stopped, waved my arms, yelled and even took a step towards it. It kept coming.
At about 20', I beaned him/ her (don't know) square between the eyes with the TM.
It turned and ran back into the riverbottom.
Been within close range of 100s of bear but this one shook me up abit!
Checked my camera card later and it was drinking out of the pond where I had the cam set each of the last 4 days.
Was very unusual behavior but will go in armed from hear on out.
