Hi Many,
I have a bear story for you. through my brother.. :)
So yesterday, I talked to him by phone.. He has been telling me about a bear that has been coming around his house, a garbage bear, you know, tearing up his and neighbor's garbage cans. He calls the game warden.. They finally bring out a live bear trap..
They set it near a apple tree in his front yard.. The night before last at about 1:00 am, he hears this terrible racket.. He knows right away it is the bear.. And then the bear starts throwing the garbage can against the side of his house.. His little stock dogs are cowering in his pu outside.. My brother, Ron, said it made his hair stand on end, and he is like me, not too afraid of anything, but he gets out of bed with his 44 magnum..
The racket doesn't stop so he fires towards the bear, three times and he hits it, and it runs away.. He calls his son.. And so he, C, and another friend track it for hours that night, by blood and stuff.. But lost it.
The next day, C found it near the river.. And it took about five more shots to take care of it..
So my bro calls the game warden about it.. And the game warden said and I can't believe it, "You should have waited for it to go in the trap".. Jeesus Keerist, what is one to do, while a big old boar bear is about to knock a window or unlocked door out to do.. He figures it might have broke a window or his unlocked front door and came in..
So they got their backhoe out and buried it..
Estimates by locals was it weighed about 400 lbs..
He is like me, but we both have our limits.. We both try to avoid violence but sometimes something crosses the line.
