Yeah, im not worried about them getting calves. I'm out a lot by myself in the woods..I dont want to come across a bear, cougar or a meth head....But if i had my pick of the 3, i'd rather come across a bear..SJB":11mt3f2b said:We have more bears than you can beleive. They don't cause too much trouble unless it gets real dry, or the hickories don't do well.
They will destroy fruit trees though.
I've got them all around me, and several cow/calf outfits. There's never been any issue that I've heard of with them getting calves.

Better be a darned good shot with a bear, they can go for a while with a big hole in them.. Even a good rifle like a .308 needs to be placed right.JMJ Farms":866x0fpg said:cowgirl8":866x0fpg said:Yeah, im not worried about them getting calves.

A well placed .45 hollow point will stop all 3 :nod:

People where i live use to be very hungry. When we moved here i did not see a deer for maybe 5 years. Now, 25 years later, i see maybe 30 every morning when i check cows. And thats without looking for them. They graze all around our house..you cant avoid them. We have so much wildlife now because, i've said it for years, people arent hungry anymore. What is left are people who have strong hunting instincts in their DNA that its really all it boils down to, the need to hunt. And half of them are bad shots.. I think cars now take out more deer than hunters.slick4591":1se4f08h said:I remember a conversation my granddad was having with a guy about bears in my area. Since the guy nor I had ever seen a bear here the man wanted to know what happened to them. Granddad told him there was lots of hungry people back in those days. Since then I've seen pictures of organized hunts around this county with lots of dead bears.
