Black Bears, I did not know about. They can be fairly large.

Grizzly and Polar Bears are huge.

We have at times had mountain lions, out of mountains in Mexico. And far too many coyotes, bobcats and feral hogs.

Because it was hungry.

Note the “Gun Free Zone Policy” found here:

Would have been prudent to have more than shovels to protect their children. Bravo for the “rifleman” bringing a firearm to a “gunfree zone” despite the legal and financial jeopardy he and his family could face from the regime.

Voting Dem/Rino has consequences for everyone.

Polar bears don’t hibernate.

[Red Badger]

The ones on TV do.........................😜

[Red Badger]

And we have feral hogs too.................😁

[Red Badger]

We’re up to our ears in Black Bears!....................protected species...............

[Varda]

On the internet they roast penguins on a spit. I’d rather live near those Polar bears.

[Texas Fossil]

Oh, so more bureaucrap creating a problem?

[Red Badger]

Yes, you are not allowed to kill them unless it’s to save a human life. And even then you have to prove that it was so...................

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, it is impossible to get rid of wild feral hogs.

Multiply too fast.

We have even allowed them to be hunted out of helicopter with semi auto rifles. I’ve seen 30 or more move in a group a time or two.

[Texas Fossil]

Like I said, bureaucrap.

[metmom]

Shooting the bear was the only choice they had.

[Red Badger]

They are a real problem on Eglin AFB. They root up endangered plants and destroy the environment.

It was DeSoto’s fault.................

Wild hogs in FL.

Trap them and kill them and make sausage from them.

We have 4 traps on our property that we occasionally set for them.

[BipolarBob]

At least it wasn’t a BiPolar Bear or I’d never hear the end of it.

[Texas Fossil]

That was a long time ago. Don’t think they have been in Texas nearly that long. Russian boars were said to have been seeded here, they intermixed with tame gone will hogs. They are every stripe and shape now.

Thank you for your first hand experience back ground.

Those folks died because the school was a gun free zone? Its so ludicrous. The Dept of Education in Alaska should have their pants sued off.

If we are not careful, woke liberalism is going to kill many of us.

Watch the left blame this on Globul Schwarming, “humans are evil, reduce their numbers” meme.

That poor woman should have been packing a .454 Casul.

She was eaten alive. Call it what it is.The man who dispatched the bear likely came while the bear was devouring left overs.

[Red Badger]

Estimated that there are over 3 million wild hogs in Florida......................
