Bear Hunting

Apparently I have been doing it wrong..... I should be going to the Pittsburgh Mills Mall where the Krispy Kreme smell has been bringing in local black bears.

Sleeping NJ Bear Found in Home


View more videos at: http://nbcnewyork.com.

On Wednesday, a Cablevision technician walked into a New Jersey home to find a sleeping bear in the basement.

The repairman entered the home on Madison Trail in Hopatcong to perform scheduled repairs when he found the sleeping bear in the basement, police said.  The bear, which had been spotted wandering in the neighborhood earlier in the afternoon, escaped the home.

New Jersey Fish and Game officials were called in, and at about 3 p.m., located the bear and tranquilized it.  Police said it took some time for the large bear to go down. The animal walked a few blocks over to Missouri Trail and eventually fell asleep.

Woman Charged in Illegally Killing Black Bear, Franklin Pa

NW Pa. woman charged with illegally killing black bear at her home

I always hate to read an article about poaching. If the charges are true this woman illegally killed a black bear, essentially stealing from every hunter who buys a hunting license and bear tag.

I have hunted black bear several times and unfortunately did not even see one. It's really disgusting to think that someone would illegally kill a bear or any game animal.

As a hunter I am disgusted by poachers and feel the $1500 penalty is not severe enough. What are your thoughts?

Gummi Bears

Poconos bear candy shots: Poconos bear candy shots - mcall.com

As the old saying goes, it's as easy as taking candy from a baby! A 150 to 200 pound black bear tried to take the gummi bears off a two year old girl in northern Monroe County, near the Pocono Mountains.

Fortunately for the girl, a neighbor with a handgun was able to fire three shots to scare the wandering bear away. It's a stark reminder for individuals living in bear country, keep a close watch on small children and pets.
