General Discussion / Re: My first bear.
« on: July 16, 2017, 04:06:54 PM »
I can't possibly remember my first bear... that was so long ago now! But if we're talking most memorable, that's much easier.
I'd just started a new playthrough, less than an hour in. I'd been chasing and hunting an elk for most of that time, but lost its trail when night fell. Waking up in the morning, my provisions running low, I set out to find somewhere to make camp... and found a small bear in the middle of a clearing.
As soon as I took a single step in its direction, it looked at me and roared... I thought it was either going to run away, or worse, charge me. Armed as I was with nothing more than a handaxe, I expected it to be a tough fight... but the beast thought little of the pathetic human facing it down - it immediately fell asleep!!!
Hiding and creeping forwards, the spirits were obviously looking over me, my footfalls as silent as a cats... the bear oblivious to my approach, as I stood by its side... axe held high...
It's eyes went wide as the edge of my weapon bit cleanly into the back of its neck, but the deed had been done... the mighty beast decapitated in one decisive swing.
What's better, I was recording at the time
