Not just WI. If they are not hunted they look at us as prey, slow, no defense and easy to kill and eat.
My hat is off to those who hunt them, but I will not; I have found that any mammal that eats meat does not digest well for me. I won’t hunt what I don’t want to eat. So, to those of you that do; thanks.
Did the dogs follow the bear by swimming across the river, or did the dog handler have to take them over?
Bear dogs sound tough.
Zumba classes for them. keep them out of trouble.
Nice article, but I have to wonder when someone uses the term “gun culture”? I have plenty of gun and know many who do also, but we don’t live in a “gun culture”. It just sounds stupid.
This bear weighs 657lbs., and he may be a state record for Wisconsin. He was taken in western Wisconsin, near a town called Ettrick.
