Oh yes you are exactly right! bears have ruined several of my favorite deer hunting spots. They are a curse on the land!.....Hb
My place is in Carroll Co Va. The last 2 weeks of July I had pics of 7 different bears. Deer would be in the same spot within minutes. They don't seem to care.

They don't care. I'm in Dare Co. NC several time a month and see bear and deer eating within yards of each other on almost every outing. Deer always has his tail up if he knows a bear is nearby. If a deer has a bear pegged, deer can get away.

A Virginia DWR study from a few years ago showed bears are the #1 fawn predators in the Virginia mountains. No doubt they are anywhere there are bear.
