Bear on In-Laws Property
« on: August 23, 2013, 05:56:40 PM »
I've never hunted bear before, but I'm thinking about it after seeing this bear by my in-law's chicken coop.  Looks pretty big to me, but I don't know much about them.  What do you think, should I be buying my first bear tag?

By the way, no chickens were harmed during the taking of this picture.

I second what Hoyt said. He looks like a beast to me.

If I found a bear on my in laws property I would be trying to teach it to open the door, not kill it.   :chuckle:

My in-laws just moved to this property a couple of years ago.  They've seen bears on and off since then, but none like this.  After talking to a neighbor a couple parcels down, they said that this particular bear has been trapped and relocated a couple of times to a watershed area a couple of miles away, but always finds its way back.

If you don't buy one at least let someone else on here go take care of that problem.

Back on topic though, that bear is a fat a**.  Wonder what the big lump on his back is?

He's been back once already with 2 smaller bears.  All he wanted both times was some of the chickens' food.

Here's a couple more pictures.  Sorry, they're a little blurry.
