Mary bares... (or is it bears?) it all.

Too cool Mary.
To answer the "can you kill it" question, NO.....NOT IN TEXAS! There are quiet a few in West Texas now and more seem to be spreading. If one is causing havoc on your livestock (sheep) a govt. trapper will come in and try to trap it, but you cant "leagally" shoot a bear in Texas.

Very cool here in Texas. Congrats and a great job! They were at one time very prevalent in South Texas and Mexico. There was an article I think in the TPWD magazine several months ago. How they are repopulating from Mexico according to their surveys.

However, I got bad news for you and your feeders. We have a camp and 500 acres in the UP of Michigan and them bears will completely destroy feeders. Nothing short of hot wire it will protect. They can turn a 55 gal drum into a beer can.

Enjoy my photo from my stand this last year. She was coming with her cubs before and after I left. My father in-law puts out corn, apples, cabage, and potatoes. No wonder she was coming in. But I carry a 44 Mag with me at all times. More scared of the wolves really. They freak me out when they howl and I have to walk out in the dark. Never gut any of my kills near my stand.

Thats great Mary!

Had that been a little ole snake you would have broke out of that "cage".

[Mary]

LOL Cotton..... you know that is right. A bear doesn't bother/scare me, but if a snake was within 10 feet of me, I would have been screaming to the top of my lungs

Mary, it's gonna be in the Leakey Star this week, look it up online. Hardy said there was 2 more sightings of the bear, but no video!!!

[Jaspro]

Clint,
Were they also on the Lewis ranch just different pastures or just neighboring ranches?

[DBLHKUP]

You just wonder where he came from? Hummm. Great job getting this on film......very very rare. Cool!

[SCRIBNER]

I thought he said on Da Lewis, but I'm not sure. Are you ready to go again?

[Jaspro]

All you have to do is say when. We are going to try and cut the alfalfa next week so how about in 2 weeks?

[Stolle]

[SCRIBNER]

I'd go anytime, but there's bear in them thar hills!!!!

[Mary]
