Stealing Honey Combs
« on: August 13, 2016, 10:14:35 AM »
Captured this Black Bear on video stealing some Honey Combs a few days ago. Never thought I would experience this!

I apologize in advance for the film quality

Great pictures. Looks like a nice bear, too. :tup:

Cool video. I wonder if it was worth it? Seems like the more he got stung, the more determined he became.

 I'm not sure getting stung even bothers the bears .  We had to go to expensive electric fences in our Montana operation because they were doing about 30k in damage a year to us.  Bears can be darn resourceful, they'll dig under your fence, climb over it, etc if they are hungry.  It seemed to me that the Bears were far more concerned with eating the brood than they were the honey  so perhaps they needed some protein in their diet.

Quite the predicament if you shot that bear right away!  I suppose you'd have to wait till dark to process, or get the crap stung out of you!  Nice bear!

I too was laughing the whole time.  That bear was reaching a long way down into that stump to get what he was after.  I sure wouldn't want a snoot full of pissed off honey bees.  Bet his nose was a bit swelled up after that.

That was great, thanks for sharing. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
