Another Black Bear Sighting

[ollie]

Another Black bear has been hit on the road and this time it was only about 10 miles from my house! Actually the way I read it, it was hit not far from Neosho out in the country. They are back, make no mistake about it! Here is the link.

That makes two bears hit in 2 or 3 months within a 20 mile radius. I wonder since both were young males, if they were brothers that had been sent on there way by Momma?

Wouldn't it suck to be a bear in this heat ? Might be kinda cranky

This past mothers day, my family was eating lunch down at Roaring River. After lunch, I took my wife and kids up to the top of the hill going towards Seligman to look at some cabins. When we turned the corner coming off the highway into the long driveway, there was a very good sized bear trying to get in the trash cans. We sat and watched for several minutes before the bear decided we were too close and headed back off into the woods. Sure was neat to see one in the wild and my young boys were absolutely amazed!

I for one am glad they are making a comeback. I have yet to see one in the wild and am looking forward to it.

The area where this bear was found is near a lot of conservation land. There's no telling how many more are located in that huge expanse of forest and farmland.

I hear tell of cougars being sighted around Sullivan....I hope they don't like the taste of flyfisherman.

Cougars and bear like the smell of fish.

They only attack those who keep fish for dinner and feed on them.

CPR. Catch Photo and Release.

I thought I saw bigfoot one time running across the road in front of me near Forest Mill on Spring river. Turns out it was just Chief !!

I could see how you could mistake Chief for a big hairy bigfoot! Buzz, from what I heard today he was hit over by Newt road on 59 highway and not on HH. That's close to Hickory Creek. Right next to the creek basically. Not sure if the info is correct or not though.

Was he covered in freckles and cussing like a sailor?

Ollie, I had a feeling he ( the Bear not Chief ) might be down around Hickory Creek. Looks like we may be picking up more than Wal-Mart bags this Fall.
