RE: Look What Greeted Me This Morning.
It was really pretty cool guys. It's the very first time I've ever seen a color phase bear in person. I was startled at first. As I stepped off the porch I heard him woosh as he started up the tree. I took a step back and realized and said, "well hello Mr Bear". I ran at him and he continued up the tree almost to the top. He started back down when I went to the porch so I ran at him again and he went up. I then realized like Rick James said, Hmmm, where's momma? I looked around and thought the same thing as Shultzy said, he's last years cub and momma ran him off just recently. Black Bears bear cubs ever 2 years so she'll breed this year and bear her cubs this next winter/spring. This cub is what, just better than a year old.
I believe our state record is above the 800 lb area.
Earlier in the spring as a friend (Nate) and I were walking down the trail behind my garage and we heard something take off and stop, as we stood there a bear was woofing and snapping it's jaws. It could very well have been this bear but this isn't the first bear that's been in my yard. I've had mulitple bears over the years but this was by far the neatest experience. The second was the 600lber was tearing apart my 3D target.
See the claw marks in the ass end of this 3D target.

RE: Look What Greeted Me This Morning.
I think that bear was coming around to visit Jenny. LOL Looks like he needs a touch up on his dye job. LOL. Thats pretty cool. My GF had a bear cub up a tree at her house last year. And when she called me to tell me. My first comment was get the kids inside and look out for Momma. But Momma bear was nowhere to be found. Thats cool too see a blonde phase one. I can't say I have ever seen one in PA like that.

A lot of people don't realize it I guess, but 5 out of the top 10 B&C bears were killed in PA. Rob's property and my camp just happen to fall into 2 of the counties where the most/biggest bears in the state are killed as well.
