Not going to cool when your feeder is demolished on the ground.

They do make bear proof feeders.

In 2017 I shot one at 7 yards with a recurve (U.P. of Michigan). One year I had one climb my ladder stand and got within 4' of me. He dropped back down and I shot him as he was walking away.

he could have ripped your face off and didnt, then you shot him walking away? boo

What is the law in Texas regarding shooting bears?

What is the law in Texas regarding shooting bears?

real bad juju...It is a violation of law to kill a black bear in Texas, with penalties of up to $10,000, added civil restitution fines, jail time and loss of all hunting privileges. Keep hunting camps clean to prevent odors that will attract bears.

Thanks for the info, I guess I’d let him walk as well!

Had one under my feeder in Sterling Co a few years ago. Bout 3/4 the size a a Rottweiler dog. Daniel Freudenthaler a TBH member visiting from Austria was hunting with me in the blind at the time. Mexican bears are not very big but they can destroy varmint cages is seconds. I replaced mine with cages made from shopping carts. Had no cameras running at the time but fixed that in case it was ever seen again. The ranch has several great pyrenees dogs that guard the sheep now so we probably won't ever have a bear problem again. This one just this past Oct. might be the same one we had just north of town. https://www.newswest9.com/article/ne...5-9085340bcc89


PS: I weren't skeerd. Daniel was with me and I knew I could outrun him.

That is absolutely awesome brother! I know it had to have been frustrating but, I hope (know) you sat there and took it all in!
