Black Bears: Please stop charging me!

Patrick Thier — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:12:27 +0000

Close encounter with black bear #3… in less than a year! I don’t make this stuff up. Honestly. Yes, it happened again. When I was bear hunting on August 16, 2013 near Mt. Adams in Washington state, I had yet another very close, hair-raising and heart-pounding encounter with a black bear... READ MORE:

I saw the blur out of my side window but didn’t have enough time to react as the little doe came busting out of the brush. I was doing about 60mph in my Silverado...READ MORE: http://ThierOutdoors.com

5 MORE Big Challenges with Bowhunting, and how to overcome them.

6. Scouting. When you only have to get to within 200 or 300 yards of an animal, your scouting can be substantially more lackadaisical. When you need to be within 20 or 30 yards, your scouting has to be as pinpointed as the shot itself...READ MORE: http://ThierOutdoors.com

Sharing the excitement is part of the excitement itself. How does that old adage go? Sorrow shared is half the sorrow; joy shared is twice the joy. Never is that sentiment more in-your-face than in hunting camps everywhere. Our first organized bear camp, in the mountains of ...READ MORE http://ThierOutdoors.com

Black Bear vs. Mountain Lion

Patrick Thier — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:29:35 +0000

Most often when we talk about predators, especially those in the North American moutainous wilderness, we lump black bears and cougars in the same breath. Both are generally considered more dangerous than a coyote or bobcat, but not quite as dangerous as a brown bear...probably a notion justified by sheer size alone.
