Bear shot dead by police

[MikePal]

Wife almost hit a bear cub last night a few km's from our house near the turn into Russell. Haven't heard of a bear around hear in the 19 years I have lived here.

Someone spotted a bear in Kemptville down by the hospital the other night and my daughter says they have one in the Brockville area too.....seems they have come far south this year.

A few guy's have told me they have seen tracks around the Winchester Bog, but I haven't seen any. Isn't there a season in your WMU??

Yea we have a fall hunt here, but there is very few bears around the Kemptville area, I had one go thru the property about 10 yrs back and destroy all my bird feeders, but I haven't seen any sign or hear of any sightings since then.

Years ago, before I joined, they use to make sure there was a bear tag in the camp. Occasionally they would shot one.

Keep in mind that if there is just one bear tag in camp, only the person who purchased the bear tag can shoot the bear. Some people get mixed up on this and could get in big trouble.

That's a frequently bent law - but you are correct.

Yes,absolutely,but,you'd be amazed at the number of hunters from camps that get delegated to "go to town" and buy a Bear tag.

Chatting with the neighbour (2km away) and he saw a young Black Bear in his back yard last week. His dog chased him off, but he's been hanging around the bush on his back 40.

So there is one close by....have to put the 870 by the back door and make sure the flashlight is full charged

Get a bait out in late summer, could be delicious.
