The final numbers are in here in Pennsylvania for bear kills the last 6 days. 9,847. I heard this on the noon news and I find it hard to believe. The number seems too high. Maybe they mean around 980.

BTW, a bear got my dog last July. Thankfully it wasn't my kid.

Correctiion to my post #54. It seems the noon news was all wrong. Normal.

I got this from the PA Game Commission site. Still a lot of bear.

"HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania Game Commission reported today hunters took 149 black bears during a special six-day season in Poconos-based Wildlife Management Unit 3D. But when combined with the earlier three-day statewide bear season harvest of 2,846, the overall preliminary 2003 bear harvest of 2,995 fell short of the record harvest in 2000 of 3,075."
