Lol, just kiddin...
Nope, things have been quiet.
Think the bear decided to try the electric fence last weekend while
it was raining and it was standing in a ditch full of water.
10,000 volts plus water = hell of a shock to the system.
It hasn't been back since that we know of.

But have just been busier then hell with other things going on.
We do animal rescue work from time to time. Couple of those
happened this weekend and another tomorrow morning.

Don't get complacent about the bear because he hasn't been seen lately. He is likely to show up again looking for a meal and probably p. o'd. because the fence hurt him. Keep your rifle with you when you are outside.

I've been carrying while outside for a few years now.
Not so much the bear as the wild dogs that would like to snack on me.
Since the bear showed up, I just carry a little bit bigger gun.

At least the dogs provide some dependable target practice.

By the way, as many as you were getting rid of, how in the hell did you and the other people near you dispose of all of them? The numbers just seem.... ludicrous.

Dispose of as in get rid of the bodies or dispose of as in shoot ?
If bodies, left them where they dropped and used them as bait.
If shoot, it was trial and error. 1 neighbor used a dead bull as bait.
Chained it down so the packs of dogs couldn't drag it off. Then they
sat back about 100 yards and waited.
I called some in, some I just sat and waited until they showed up,
other's showed up while I was out working in the fields and on and on.
All of us had to carry at least 1 gun while out working. I always had
a pistol on and either the shotgun or rifle close by.
1 neighbor got 8 or so in 1 night. They surrounded him while he was out
checking on his cows. He had an AR and he just cut loose on them. Another neighbor saw a bunch of them raiding his chicken coop. He just
walked up and shut the door with them inside. Then took his time picking
them off.

Most of the time, we didn't have to go hunting them, they came to us.

As terrible as that sounds, I still think it'd be nice target practice... It'd be something to do at least...

Man, it's kind of pathetic that I'm that bored around here. I get to shoot once or twice a month, absolute tops. I want some land...

Meh. Enough of my whining. I actually meant how you disposed of the bodies. That's a lot of dead dog to just leave lying around. Then again, at least it's going back into the environment as food for others.

The buzzards around here will pick a body clean in a day.

The wild dogs were a true educational experience and I watched and
studied them for 3 years. I could probably right a book on the subject.
Those were some extrememly smart and cunning animals.
Did I ever mention we kept 1 of the wild dog puppies ?
She's turned out to be the smartest, bravest and most loyal dog I've
ever had and I've had a bunch over the years.

I did see on the news last night where someone killed a black bear and dumped
it by another town about 50 miles from here. Wasn't me but I wonder when I
will get a visit from the wildlife boys.

*facepalm*

You're in for a load of investigation... Though from as much as you were in contact with them, I'd doubt they'd suspect you did it. It'd be too obvious!

Not really on subject, But I mentioned I had heard about this in an earlier post in thread about the DNR not admitting there were cougars in Minnesota.

DNR confirms mountain lion killed near Bemidji | DL-Online | Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

My point is, never trust what the DNR says about what is there and what isn't. These idiots released 20 of them near Bemidji,MN in 2007 and want us to believe they aren't there. There have been a few attacks on horses and cattle.

Our Game and Fish commishion did the same thing here but it was Black Bears they secretly released.
And the population is doing very well. But I don't like. I don't want to have to deal with them.
And there's know hunting them in our part of the state...A.H
