Yogi visits the Cape!

[Timothy]

Ours are babies compared to that monster Mike!  I do recall someone taking a 600# bear in Vermont or NH a few years back.

We can't bait here either!  Not sure on the tree stand either.

Edit...It was Maine with a bow..

Please note that the stick in my hand is just a cane    Canada ain't very gun friendly, so I had to punch him out

Maybe he's hooked on  the tranquilizers . 

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

The poor guy got hit in the ass 50 feet up the tree, ran another 30 feet further up, got another in the ass and eventually fell!  Thankfully he landed on a few branches on his 80 foot drop and landed in a squat bush.  Didn't bust him at all...

they have the whole incident on tape.

We had a close encounter at our camper this weekend!  NE Ohio isn't known for Black Bears but there has been several sightings locally including one in our campground at a trailer about 1/8 mi. away.  I was at a match at the time so it was gone by the time I got back.  My wife told me the owner went back w/marshmallows and the ranger that showed up told him that if he gave them to the bear "It was his!"  I suppose if we have too much trouble they can trap it and relocate it but that is never a sure thing since there will probably be another to take its place.

A guy I used to work with said they baited bears with Dunkin Donuts day old pastries they got free as "pig feed".
Said they would leave out a 55 gallon drum of them and come back a day or so later.
The whole wheat bagels and bran muffins were thrown all over, but the jelly donuts were GONE.
Also said the bear they got had rotten teeth.

A bruin believed to have swum about 500 feet (152 metres) across the Cape Cod Canal from the mainland in late May has captured the imagination of residents as it traipses across the peninsula. Officials say research dating to the 1700s suggests this is the first bear on the Cape.

My bet is the poor bugger has a missus and cubs back on the mainland and just wants some peace and friggin quiet!
Bears dont have sheds ya know!

It was Berwick Me. so the bait might have gone to either,The fact they didn't leave coffee with the donuts makes me think bear.  but what they shot (bow ) was a bear.

I think it was unprofessional to dart him that high up a tree.  Give him a little time and he'll come down and give you a better shot.

Using donuts and other sweets is a pretty common and effective method of attracting bears.  That's what my roommate uses in her research.
