Well bro only one thing to say watch the children!!!

sure hope they catch this guy before he does more then just bite someone, sounds a little strange to me though knowing that Black Bears will avoid contact with humans in most cases unless it's to find food...like a camp site or your garbage. I have hunted Black Bear many years ago never new of one attacking anyone in my experience, although I had read and seen documentary's saying that it has happened. It is rare for Black Bear.

The guy that got attacked said it had a red and a blue tag in it's ear, so it's been relocated befor.......sorry, but it's time to put it down.

Where a bud of mine lives they call em 2 holers. The state SWEARS they dont relocate bears there,yet many have 'mysteriously' died with holes in both ears where tags were.They tag once,they tag twice,then they remove tags and send to Buds neighborhood so they are stuck dealing with the problem bears.And they do get 'mysteriously' dealt with,its a matter of survival for folks living there actually,these are dangerous animals,those that dont fear people.

Or your orchard or garden.I know someone who put a .44 magnum between the eyes of one towering over his wife as she was working in Garden!Also knew someone who was surprised by a bear in his orchard and killed it with one shot from a .22! That guy,BTW,was one hell of a fine hunter but said he never wanted to be in that position again.RIP good buddy,we miss you!
