An unusual sight

[Silver]

Seeing a bear that is not a cub up a tree for no apparent reason is kinda odd


Seeing one this high up to me is especially odd. Maybe he just wanted a better view.

Is that binoculars around his neck?

Rough neighborhood.

Maybe he was getting away from the Grizzly that was watching you while you were watching the black bear?

 

[faster horses]

Maybe he wanted his picture taken.

Did you help it down?

That is very odd for a bear that big. We cant get them to climb that high with 5 dogs after them.

Is it stuck up there wedged in the fork. I had a peacock wedged in the fork of a gum tree in my back yard once, had to get an extension ladder to get it it freed. You might need a ladder to help it out.

Thankfully no bears around here, so I'm intrigued. How is it possible for a bear that size to climb that tall, yet relatively skinny tree? Holy cow! Or bear. Whatever. Did it eventually get down? I mean, without a bullet?

It is no

It is no longer up in that tree and I did not help it down so I have to assume it came down under its own power.

I considered that actually. But he is only about 100 feet outside the fence where the pairs are. I'm wondering if he got chased out of the pasture but didn't realize the fence was protecting him. To be honest there's cows out there I would not want to get caught threatening their calves lol

Looks maybe 225-250ish pounds? Always a little hard to tell in a pic. They are always fun to watch.

I have been on the receiving end of that. Why I started culling the crazies a couple years ago.

My buddy had one on his place in west Texas.

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

Hold my Beer and watch this! Said the bear to his buddy.
