Minnesota hunter finds herself in between a sow and its cub… 20 feet up a tree

Sitting on a treestand near Duluth in mid-September, Samantha Ewald finally saw what she had been waiting to see emerge from the brush behind her – a bear.
“I stayed very still. … It actually sniffed around my tree a lot and then kind of was like sniffing up in the air. I was getting ready in case I was going to get a good shot on it,” Ewald said. 
She waited and watched from her perch about 20 feet above the ground as the bear fiddled with the bait less than 100 feet away. 
“It was taking its sweet time getting there,” she said.
