Bear Steals Deer from Hunter

[MikePal]

I think I'd be buggering off right quick.

He's a guy who's been a hunter for 50 yrs....so not his first time at the rodeo in regards to bears....

Your right Trimmer....he did the right thing..walk away, hope he can find the rack later..just for the story telling of course

I doubt I'd tell anyone about it. Not one of my crew would believe that story in a million years without a video. LOL

he had a gun, the barrel was in the video. a few warning shots for sure.

Looks like a slug gun.

I would have been shooting over the bears head for sure.

Now that would be an interesting thread all sorts of points to debate.
Would it be considered baiting?
Could you be charged with not immediately sealing the deer at site of kill?
Is it protecting your property as you haven't tag it yet?
My thinking if you don't have a bear tag and the bear doesn't want to easily give it up you're shi* out of luck and thank goodness you had the camera cause no one would believe your story.

if anyone was trying to argue that was baiting, or they didn't tag the deer immediately because a bear was eating your deer - well, ummmmm I would totally lose respect for the internet coppers on here!
