Back yard bear/ pit bull

[Pa. Mick]

Our pit bull treed this bear in our backyard about 10:30pm as it was raiding our bird feeders ! Shelby also treed one about 3 years ago. She loves predator hunting too

They are definitely out and about. I had one on my bait pile last night that I had to run off, and we had 4 in the field we were calling on Tuesday night. I put my partner on the end next to the bears, lol.

This is the one I had to run out of the yard last night.

Not sure he is as large as the one from 2 years ago.

Wow! Havent seen a bear in years near me but I guess you never know. My neighbor keeps telling me we're probably due one in the areas.

DU, both those have several X's in front of the L. Those bears are huge.

My bear issue is not quite as serious (large) as DU's but he's no cub either. He has been spending the night at my SC hog feeder for a week. He ripped the motor off the feeder dumping about 250 lbs of corn out. The feeder legs are 11 ft long. The motor was 7' off the ground. Thought I had it high enough but nope, he reached it.

I have been about half expecting to go out and find my cameras beaten to pieces. They've done it before.

Wow ! I hope I never see bears that big in my back yard, lol !!

How about making some back yard bear biltong or yogi bear bratwurst?

Is bear hunting legal (November) were you live in PA?
