A bear’s been hanging around the neighborhood tearing up garbage cans and bird feeders. We have video of it checking out our patio and birdbath. Maybe a few No Trespassing signs would send her back into the woods now that we know bears can read.
My first year in West Virginia, six hunters died during deer season. Two were shot by family members (accidentally, honest!), two died of heart attacks climbing the mountains (only exercise that year!), and two died from falling from their blinds up in the trees (and beer had nothing to do with it!).
if you want to make it a real sport, give the animals guns and let’s play fair all you big time hunters. we’ll put you in a fenced in property too! ooh, 20 pounds of dear jerky for what, 6 hours in the woods. hmmm. sounds more stupid then anything
A hunter chases a raccoon up a tree. Hunter fires his gun upward—-the shot breaks the tree branch,which falls and knocks the hunter unconscious.The raccoon escaped.
It took place in Milledgeville,Georgia——the hometown of Oliver Hardy(Laurel&Hardy)
In 1954 at age 9, my cousin took me deer hunting in VA. My rifle was way too big for me, being a 5th of my weight, and I tired quickly. Sat and leaned against a pine tree to rest, while Cousin went on up the deer trail.
Saw movement off to my right, and a flash of reflected light. For some reason, I ducked to my left. The 30-06 slug went through the tree trunk where my head just had been, leaving a hole as big as my head where it came out. The sonic crack blew my right eardrum in, requiring the first microsurgery repair done in Virginia.
Cousin came running back to see what I had shot, saw the hunter leaning over me, challenged him. He took off running for his Jeep, and drove off. Cousin sped him on his way with 4 shots, 1 of which got his gas tank. He ran out of gas about a mile away. Police picked him up next morning at a motel about 2 miles away.
I never ‘went hunting’ again.
Strong recommendation: if you feel you MUST hunt (unless you are a professional hired to ‘cull’) do so with a camera.
BTW, I do own and use firearms. Mostly for target shooting. I am a deadly shot. Occasionally, I dispatch such prolific pests as ground squirrels (chipmunks) tree squirrels, groundhogs, barn rats, and pigeons.

Dang, those are big-ass bears. Did they bulk up for winter and hibernation (hyperphagia)?

Always be careful of signs without punctuation. “I love eating, pets, and my family” is not the same as “I love eating pets and my family”

Hunters do get shot every year.
