[QUOTE="clamb4, post: 3020761, member: 5812"] I was in a wilderness area in California, deer hunting with a buddy. We were walking a trail next to a lake. The lake level was low with a lot of mud flats around the lake. The trail was in the edge of the trees next to the mud flats. I heard movement in the manzanita brush next to the trail. We could see the high branches moving but couldn't see what was causing it. What ever it was was probably only 10 yards or so, very close. I knew it was holding that close because it didn't want to run in the open space between the brush and the lake. I told my buddy to move down the trail about a hundred yards. Then walk out on the mud flat and see what runs out when I force it out. Be ready to shoot. So I gave him a few minutes. Then picked up a few rocks and started chucking rocks and yelling. I figured it was a black tail deer. I heard it bust out the other side of the manzanita into the open space. Still couldn't see anything. Waited for a shot but no shot. So I started down the trail in the direction my buddy went. So when I seen him I asked him if it was a doe. He said no about a 350 lb black bear. Then I got to thinking about being 10 yards from a big bear and throwing rocks at it. Good thing it was a black bear and decided to move in the open instead of through me. [/QUOTE]
