This guy walked down the center of the road about 15 minutes ago(8-7-09, 7:50pm). Took me a minute to get the camera.

 

The women in your area sure have not evolved very well..

Well, they're working on it... I saw some dangling jewels 8-)

Holy Smokes, that thing looks big!

yes that one is big..

I'd wrestle him like I wrestle with my big dumb chocolate lab. Their about the same size

I do not know, that one is as tall as the mailboxes on all fours?

Nahhhh Mark is just really good with camera's. It's the angle of the picture, that guy is really just a cub, no more than like 150-200 lbs. He's just a big ball of fur. I could give him a run for his money in a wrestling match. I'll just poke him in his eyes.

But still totally full of cr...

haha shhhhh don't tell anyone Dan. Thats my secret DUH. I still can't believe your going to miss today, we are going to have an awesome turnout!

Speaking of turnout...I will be bringing my Camera with just a basic lens. Maybe the 50mm prime will work.

malsua.... the other pic you had of the bear in the back yard.... I soooo wanted to just go out and hug it.. lol. it looks like a big furball. I agree Matt. =0

would my new .380 handle that one?

 

I got a 13 round mag in it after all....

 

I think he wouldnt even turn around, he would just keep walking...

would my new .380 handle that one?

 

Nope. Not nearly enough. .40 cal isn't enough, perhaps barely.

 

The reality is that you need magnum rounds for bears. .357, 41, 44 on up.

 

Not saying you couldn't get lucky with a brain shot through the eyeball, but you need penetration for bears and a .380 just doesn't have enough.

 

early bow season always gives me the creeps due to them lurking around.

 

And this is why I think it is absolute bullshit that we as hunters are not allowed to carry a handgun when we hunt.

I wonder if anyone has seen a bear run down a deer. I have.

 

I wonder if anyone has seen how fast they really are. Land and climbing. I have.

 

They ARE to be feared.

 

Welcome to New Jersey, home of the stupid! It really cracks me up with the stupid rules etc that happen in this state. Just like all of these people crying about bear hunts. I totally understand that we as people are invading in on their territory but were here and unless you feel like giving up your spot on the earth for the bear then shut your trap. The thing I love is the same people crying about bear hunts are going to be the first one screaming at the top of the lungs if a loved one of theirs gets hurt by a bear its quite pathetic.

 

Anyway sorry mal for getting off topic. Keep the pictures coming, but I want better quality pictures from you mister, this one was a little on the lame side

The highest concentration of bear/human encounters is in Vernon NJ. There has been maybe 10 new houses here in the past 20 years. The land is the same now as it was 20 years ago...protected.

 

as to the picture...yeah, it's grainy because it was dusk. Shutter was really slow and the bear was moseying away. I cranked up brightness and contrast with photoshop.

FAIL! excuses excuses excuses haha But if you could of ran outside and got in front of the bear to take a headshot, now that would of been a good picture. Next time, get a little extra step in your get up so we can have cool pictures of fluffy friendly bears.
