I have been out in the forest for years. First I was a hunter then I also worked as a logger, then for the Forest Service. Now I am back to just hunting. I wonder how many times the kitty saw me and I had no idea it was around?
Wow, that will get your pulse racing. I have had a bear come in on me and a buddy while calling for him on an archery elk hunt in Colorado once. He sure was surprised to see me finally stand up!
