Thread: Bears - That time of year again

Sounds like Darwin Awards participants to me

Rather Disapointed

Don't really know why I am pissed about it, wasn't real happy about having a Bear around the area, but I just found out the the new Backwoods morons at the front of the road shot the thing...

We have dealt with the yearly visits from all the bears over the years and never had to do more then shoo them off,...

Maybe a round or two into the trees by them if they were real stubborn

Some people don't have the sense required to share the world with others. Sorry for you having those kind of neighbors.

+1, double up on those sentiments.

Glen, I don't blame you for being Torqued Off! Back when my grandfather was a WA Game Protector he said that if a land owner killed any big game for damaging his crops or doing damage to property and hadn't asked the Game Dept that they were in violation of the law. I do believe that covered any big game animal that was just 'hanging around'.

The point may be moot but a call to the local game enforcement officials might be a good idea.

Hunters kill black bears all the time,nothing wrong with that,I killed a 350 lb black bear In wieser ID 30 yrs ago.
If you do not cull them they would overun every garbage dump in the country.
FYI, there are more deer in the u.s today than when the pilgrams landed,they are pests.

It's true Bill. If you are hunting and that is what you are up to. If you are just killing all the wildlife because it was there, that is not much of an ethic. I hunt every year. I fish too. I have never killed an animal just because it was in my yard. Even those dastardly raccoons get eviction notices when the start nesting around my buildings. They have to be pretty persistent to get a death sentence. If I leave the garbage out or the lid off the compost and wildlife gets into it that is my fault, and I am in the wrong. It is all part of sharing and getting along.

Oh no they are perfectly legal to take the bear,, it is season, and it is their land, and their cattle that is threatened..


I don't hunt them, it just really isn't hunting to me if I can step out the door and swat them on the butt with my hand but I buy a tag every year just in case I have to drop one, that way the Hide and Meat doesn't go to waste... I guess I am contributing to the "General Wildlife Fund" every year by purchasing a tag and never using it

I don't know just almost seems too easy, maybe that is what bugs me, it shouldn't but it does..


I am the same way Shaun, I give the Raccoons and Squirrels plenty of chances to move away from the house before I give them the permanent eviction notice

The folks on the Mayflower couldn't count, so Squanto had to teach them by counting deer!
Is it Thanksgiving yet ?
