Nice bear. We accidentally treed a mamma and 2 cubs a few weeks back up in VT. I don't think they ever went in this winter!

That's cool.  He looks like he's been eating well.  I walked up on a bear during deer season last year in FL.  I thought it was a deer moving in some thick brush so I moved in closer and nocked an arrow.  The bugger strolled out of the brush about 7 yds in front of me and I just about soiled myself.  We can't shoot them in FL yet, but the population here seems to be growing pretty rapidly.

had 2 in the yard at camp in Cameron County friday night.  one small one and one nice one with a nice blaze on its chest.  The small one ate 4 racks of ribs that were in a friends cooler on the porch.  Guess he didnt think a bear could open a soft sided cooler   :dunno: .  Nice picture

Never seen a bear on the "hoof" or "Paw". That has to be a cool site. Great pic.

Nice picture. Only bear I've seen in the woods was in Ocala Forest, Florida about 30yrs ago. That was one too many..actually, 4 too many.

She had 3 little cubs about 16" high on all fours. All ended up less than 10ft. from me right under my tree and I wasn't but as high as I could reach my hands and set a loc-on. Sittin up there with a recurve. Forgot my pole climbers.

Got to see how a bear poppin it's teeth sounded.

The're also out in Colorado.  My trail camera caught this one coming in to drink at a small pond.  This picture was taken Apr. 19.

I'm sure the young males will be roaming through the towns lost anytime now. More bears in Cameron County now than deer. I used to hunt out of a camp below Houston Hill.
