I'm surprised that with all of the heavy artillery that the locals are fond of packing, that this bear hasn't already met with an untimely end.

I'm surprised that with all of the heavy artillery that the locals are fond of packing, that this bear hasn't already met with an untimely end. I think bear hunting season only lasts three days in Pennsylvania. Shoot one out of season and you could buy a LOT of tents and coolers for what it's gonna cost you in fines. It's true what they say, "A fed bear is a dead bear." Once a bear finds food somewhere he will always go back. Bears are wired that way to survive. The Game Commission could try to capture the bear and put it somewhere else, but that's usually futile, the bear eventually finds his way back to the food source and has to be shot. Most unfair really, the humans are stupid (not you Frank, the moron who didn't tell you the bear was there) and the bear ends up killed. -- Ken Fortenberry

I think bear hunting season only lasts three days in Pennsylvania. Shoot one out of season and you could buy a LOT of tents and coolers for what it's gonna cost you in fines. Correct. The Mon/Tue/Wed before Thanksgiving. How big was this bear? I'm considering a call to Hemlock acres to get permission to hunt there this year...  It's true what they say, "A fed bear is a dead bear." Once a bear finds food somewhere he will always go back. Bears are wired that way to survive. The Game Commission could try to capture the bear and put it somewhere else, but that's usually futile, the bear eventually finds his way back to the food source and has to be shot. A call to the Game Commission is definitely in order. If they determine that a relocation is in order, they usually move 'em quite a distance to keep them from returning to the same food source. Not that this bear wouldn't find another garbage can... Most unfair really, the humans are stupid (not you Frank, the moron who didn't tell you the bear was there) and the bear ends up killed. It's freaky, agreeing with Ken like this, but he's spot on this time. Better waste mgmt. at the campground could have prevented this bear from becoming a problem in the first place. It's possible to get a 'problem' bear, even with perfect campers & campground mgmt., but it's much less likely. Tom G -- email:remove tt

It will take time for Rudy to put out sufficient roots to avail himself, so he is on his own for the moment. Mike and I will be checking it out in a couple of weeks, so we will let you know.... ever fearless, Tom
