Had a visitor tonight...

[Speed3]

So how much you think this one weighs? Ridgeback alerted us as he should only to find a big ass bear eating the bird seed. The bird feeders will come down tomorrow hahah.

 

[leroygibbs]

Wow!

 

[wilcam47]

easy 180lbs...wish I would have saw one during bear season...

At first sight the 9mm house gun becomes irrelevant as does the AR. My next thought would be, where are the slugs and the shotgun.

Nice bear. Glad he didn't try entering the house.

You should keep it as a pet. You can love it pet it and call it George.

 

[BlueHeeler]

He was trying to work the grill… obviously. Personally I would have partied with him and cooked up the salmon he had caught.

Great pics, BTW.

 

[Tactics]

Wow that's pretty cool. Good dog

 

[Indiana Jones]

What's the law in blasting them on your property. Is there a bear stand your ground law?

 

[Yme]

It depends on if he knocks and announces first......

I'd grab my 10-22 if its good enough to defend against man it would make short work of him.

He's black, he shows up, takes some of your stuff, destroys the rest, and you can't get rid of him. I'd name him Barry.

Can't blast on property unfortunately. Seems to be a nuisance bear IMO, look at how small the head/paws are compared to how fat the rest of the body is. I'm thinking this thing is WAY over 180 lbs the opening between the stairs and the railing is 4 feet.

 

[Maverick0313]

Holy crap!

 

[Lanceman_1]

At least 300 pounds maybe more. I shot one in Canada that was 180 and your bear is twice the size of mine. And yea they are good to eat.

 

[joppaj]

Holy crap!

No, that's bear crap, there's a difference. If I'd seen it on my porch there'd also be human crap, mostly because I live in Silver Spring and I don't have porch.

Nice to see this animal. They can be a pest. I do not believe anyone has died from a bear attack in Maryland since around 1722. Or was it 1673? The Second Amendment gives us the Right to Arm Bears.

 

[Pale Ryder]

No bear expert, but I think he's a young roly poly, over 300 lbs. Think you'll need a bigger gun.
