Sunday I hiked a little over a mile into some thick brush/ pine trees just outside of a large bedding area.
I was positioned roughly 25' up in a pine tree with my left side basically covered with pine branches and leaves. Wind / thermals were going left to right across me.
As I'm sitting there with my head resting against my tether I hear really loud exhaling followed by what sounded like two large feet jumping up and landing hard off to my left. The exhaling started again followed by more feet jumping sounds. This went on for seven to eight minutes. The exhaling sounded similar to a doe blowing but three times louder and twice as long. I couldn't see through anything and it sounded 80 yards away or so. I've heard does blow tons of times and just about every other sound a deer can make and this was no deer.
I know there are bear around but I've never seen one nor do I know much about them. But the sound seemed like a bear landing on two feet, if not a bear it was something flat footed and heavy. Anyways I was just wondering what you guys think.
