i was out deer hunting around 5 oclock and i was going to check a section of a beanfield. the trail i take to get to it is boardered by the woods an a swamp
about 30 ft down the trail i hear something in front of me and stopped thinking i had just spooked a deer the a dang bear came running at me so i fired 2 shots from the .30-30 one hit it in the shoulder the other was a tad low but it went away (today is the last day or bear season here) so i decided to go after it figuring i had already shot it im gonna try and not let it go to waste when i took a few more steps i found a cub in a tree so i left thinking the mother might still be around and i called some friends that do alot of bear hunting and they said the mom was probably either dead or ran pretty far away so i went back int he woods with 2 guys we searched for about 2 hours and figured that it was too dark to do any good now so were heading back tomorrow i feel really crappy now for 2 reasons 1 i wounded a bear and couldnt find it or finish it off and 2 it was a sal with a cub and now i may have just orphaned a cub :banghead:
would you guys have done the same thing i did?
it didnt click until i saw the cub that that is why it charged me
