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.
