Mary bares... (or is it bears?) it all.

[Jaspro]

My magic 8-ball tells me Mary will one day capture a black panther on video.

[Leonhogboy]

Great video and experience Mary. Thanks for taking us along.

[tuthdoc]

Oh, by the way. If that bird cage is now called the bare cage, well...I ain't huntin' nekked. LOL

I'm sitting here chuckling over the number of hits this thread has gotten.

[Dave]

Amazing video, great job Mary.

I knew that bears were making a come back into Texas and Northeast Mexico but didn't think they would be that far east. They have been strong in the Big Bend country for a long time and just across the river in Mexico they are actually having trouble with bears taking live stock.

Deffinately a cool exerpiece.

[Brent]

That is way cool! Nice job, Mary!

[Hot4huntin]

Unbelievable!! Incredible video, Mary!

[cosmiccowboy]

LOL

Based on the title of this thread I had unrealistically high expectations but the bear video was nice too!

[Clark]

That has to be the coolest thing that I have ever seen on TBH.

I agree.
Congrats Mary!

I would have seriously been hammering my phone internet trying to pull up tpwd to see what the regulations are.

Or more likely would have been trying not to **** myself. That is incredible!

[happy bowhunter]

Great video,and an experience and memory that will last you a lifetime

[Stolle]

Great work on the video Mary!!! When I got the first text from Joey I was thinking he started on the stones a little early

I hope he stays on Tippit and Clint's side of the lease

[jay]

That is sweet. Wasn't there a thread asking about bears in the hill country in the last week or so?

Matt, I was thinking when I read Mary's post that you should be very worried. A spike attack is one thing...bear attack might be a little different! Maybe you ought to be thinking about putting bars on your windows instead of building an escape hatch!
