It warmed up to 60 degrees over the weekend and he is now up and traveling around. He has raided my deer feeder and crapped in my lane last night. He drives the dogs nuts when he beats on the tin roof of the feeder. we have been watching him since we were building this farm 2 years ago. He is the only bear I ever saw take a bath in the water hole I dug in the pasture. | | Distinguished Member with 2,753 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: On the computer Experience: learning more daily :) | | WOW, what an interesting job! | | Distinguished Member with 66,587 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: California Experience: Intermediate | | Quote:

He came back the other evening and raided the steel can on the porch. Flipped it over and toted off an almost full bag of bird feed,carried it across the lane about 90 yards and sat on the edge of the hay field and had a party. I had taken the feeders down but forgot about the bag in the barrel. We have been seeing him out in the fields eating alfalfa for the past 2 weeks. Just put some feeder cows in the pasture so the fencer is back on. He will be surprised when he tries to climb between the wires and gets shocked. | | Distinguished Member with 66,587 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: California Experience: Intermediate |

#11 | Another update on the bear we tagged this spring. he was back and raided the feeder again. I caught a pic of him running off with an ear of corn in his mouth.If you look at his ear you can see the tag we put in this spring. Then he was in the pasture till the steers saw him and ran him off. The black steer is real possessive about his pasture. Neighbor has seen the big one right on the end of my back field twice this weekend . They are busy eating up for hibernation right now. | | Distinguished Member with 66,587 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: California Experience: Intermediate |
