I have recently had a sow and cub show up to my bait/mineral site for whitetail.. I am not really excited about this, as I assume they will detour whitetail a bit, but more importantly, make me more nervous walking back to my truck in the dark.. IS there anything a guy can really do.. what does everyone else do in situations like this, do you simply carry bear spray when hunting, I know I can not shoot the bear until the cub is an adult, which will be next year or the year after.. should I even be that worried?
I have bears all over my place. Never had an issue, I carry a pistol in case. They usually just run away. Worst case is a warning shot but that’s rare and only if I need to walk directly where it is. Apart from this guy who just sat there watching me last month. Seemed happy and content lol
