[Cold Heart]

I was debating getting a spring bear tag, you convinced me.
We have bears that makes raids in the fall. They gleaned my apple tree, broke some limbs, and destroyed the neighbors bee hives. They have been doing that for years.

My wife keeps bees. And here bear hunters use hounds. My saying is a good bear is a scared bear. Last spring we had new poults in a little coop outside the main coop. Young male bear flipped it over, tore it apart. In the morning I found the poults safe huddled together. A bird nest house was also ripped. The wandering bear was looking for eggs. Making a circuit of our rural neighborhood.

Two weeks later at night, we heard a crash in the back. The same bear had ripped down the sunflower feeder. Got the light and rifle and fired a round over his head. We didn’t see him again. Just like the spikes it’s the younguns that don’t know enough to survive. No spring bear hunting hear though.

Let me know how it goes and best of luck.
