Title: You bear killers checking the bellies?
Post by: Gutpile on September 07, 2010, 06:56:29 PM: When I opened up my bear his belly was empty. My theory is that he waited out the wind storm in the deep stuff and came out when it stopped. His intestines were full of grass though. I didn't go poking through them but what I did see was grass. What are you guys finding? It may help some of our members to key in on an area.

I was amazed how many green berries were in there along with the ripe ones. Also I was amazed how few leaves, just the berries themselves.
