Bear Attacks on Ontario

[Advan]

The incident occurred five kilometres from the spot where last week a bear fitting the same description

I think thats pretty funny.


But hey, maybe the reason I buy a bear tag this summer won't be due to the retarded calibre restrictions we have here, but because I might get a chance to harvest a bear!

The incident occurred five kilometres from the spot where last week a bear fitting the same description pursued a man up an oak tree,

LOL....It was Black.....and it was a Bear........!!!!!!!

A Black Bear!!!!!!!! Of course it fit the description! Most Hunters, including myself can't judge one bear from another.......how would one expect John Q Public to be able too? LMAO

"This is not your average bear," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Peter Leon.

Nobody bit at this little gem yet huh? Surprising....

LOL you're right Boo-Boo
Now, where did I leave that pick-a-nick basket

Looks like there's going to be a run on .45/70s in Southern Ontario gun shops . . . those folks living north of Sudbury should already know about bears.

An ordinary 30-30 Winchester does the job very nicely thank you .

A golfer ID'd it as a cougar?? Well that finally explains all the cougar sightings. Now it all makes sense!

My Nephew who lives outside of Wyebridge On. on a concession rd. off HWY 93, was taking garbage out to his shed a few nights ago and just about came face to face with a black bear that was scrounging around it. Smelled other garbage in there, obviously.
My Nephew has a pretty nasty back problem, but he said he ran back to the house the fastest he has run in quite a while!! He can't run, not in the last 3 yrs. Amazing what adrenalin and fear can do!
Before last year other family member that also live in that area say they haven't seen bear in 20 + years before that.

The ministry has set up three live traps in the area and hopes to catch and kill it by lethal injection

hmmmmm so who is going to hold the needle.

I much prefer lethal lead injections for bear, and as a bonus you don't need a trap.

I just hope they keep moving south. The more bear in southern ontario the better. They might help control the "Urban Yuppie Re-connecting with Nature" population problem we have down here. I wonder if bear have a taste for designer jogging pants?

I say it everytime we get one of these threads.... bring the damn spring bear hunt back!

They are desperate for food and heading into populated areas to avoid starvation.

Also, what is the point of 'live trapping' a bear that you are going to give a lethal injection to? How about the "shoot it dead and grind up some bear burgers trap"

It is unfortunate because bears were at one time a game animal in Ontario. Now they are the SSS type animal. Bears found down south in their original range are shot or moved north to protect the public and the police come a running. Central to Northern Ontario you are on your own.
