Still in the sleeping bag, just like a burrito.

Why didn't they just shoot the bear? ....Uhhh OK>

>>Whereabouts? I have relatives along the Ramapo River in Mahwah. They're on the side of a mountain overlooking the river and I believe the NY state line runs across the top of the ridge.<<

Yup, That's part of the area, essentially the easternmost part of it. From there west to Greenwood lake it's reasonably remote, from Greenwood lake west and a bit south of the NY border, in the mountainous areas, it's usually watershed. My property butts up against the Pequannock watershed. I walk out my back door, and I can walk south for about 7-8 miles before I come to another road(that isn't an unimproved fire trail).

If I walk to the North East towards New York(after I clear my town), there is _NADA_. Zilcho, nothing but steep mountains and valleys. No roads, no people, just trees, lakes and creeks. Oh and bears :).

There are some military sites in and around this area too. A couple of non-active nuke Silos to boot:). Those places usually have a rather large buffer of space around them.

I believe the poster is encouraging you to shoot the bear (first picture), then bury the evidence (second picture) to avoid difficulties with the authorities. I have also heard this referred to as , shoot, shovel and shut up.

I know. First thing my brother told me when we went deer hunting was that, "that bear has more rights than you do."

I heard about this on the local radio. Pretty crazy. I'm glad this hasn't happened to me when I've camped out.

Hold muh bear and watch this

[Coleus]

and the kooks want to protect the bears.

I wonder what the kid had on his breath to attract the bear? He should have brushed his teeth before going to bed.

Strike that second. Bears are good eating.

What the enviro 'mentals' have overlooked is, the non hunting hurts the animals they would like to protect more than save.

Animals mass produce so their population survives. When you remove the predator, the animals don't die off naturally. I'm all for restrictions. These are needed for the irresponsible. But 'protecting' animals to the point of food shortages, disease, et al hurts everyone.

And, as I think you have noticed, I AM AGAINST trophy hunting or hunting to bury the animal. Use it, otherwise, it is murder.

Ok, I'm done with my soapbox.
