MEDFORD, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin couple say they killed a bear that attacked them inside their home after they spotted it eating from their bird feeder.
The Taylor County Sheriff’s office said the attack happened around 11 p.m. Friday at a home near Medford in north-central Wisconsin. The couple told authorities that the bear charged through a window after they yelled at it to go away.

“Authorities have not specified what kind of bear it was.”
A dead one.

He should at least get a rug out of the deal…
Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.
Thanks to ButThreeLeftsDo for the article. Not sure what to lean from this other than don’t yell at bears. Interestingly the DNR requires bird feeders be unreachable by deer/bears. At the same time they require feeders to be within 50 yards of the house.
Will PETA be holding a vigil to mourn the bear’s passing?
I’m gonna take a stab in the dark here...
A black bear????
Yep
Don’t yell at bears.
“eating from their bird feeder”
Okay, I will be the A$$hole to point out that you are supposed to take down your bird feeder on April 1st here in NH. Probably the same in WI.
Having a bird feeder in your yard attracts the bears. That is why this animal is dead. They are lucky they are not seriously injured.
DO NOT FEED THE BEARS
Looking for a pickanik basket. Hey hey hey.
LOL!
Can you believe it? And these assholes think they are journalists?
They gonna have a Tombstone pizza in the bears memory?
Good thing their names and exact location were not made public.
Otherwise they would be harrassed by PETA types.
The 2nd Amendment applies to bears as well. Remember, Pooh Bear had a shotgun.
Is this another black on white home invasion? Is that why they don’t want to identify what kind of bear it was?
This gun violence would not have happened if we had more common sense gun control
The bear is dead because it attacked the home owners
Sure. Once the bear got in the house it was fair game. I also agree with Woodbutcher in that the homeowners are at fault for escalating the situation.
I live a few hours north of there.
Any bear that comes around my house leaves in a big hurry.
