Good thing that bear didn't have a pink necklace on. Then we'd be banning wolves.

My daughter was guiding a film crew for a cable TV hunting show. The bear was shot before dark. The film crew did not want to go along tracking so they packed it in for the night. My daughter, her husband, my son and I tracked the bear starting around 11:00 P.M. after tracking bears for several other clients. The tracking ended in an alder swamp where the swamp grass and brush was leveled in an area about 10 yards around. Blood everywhere. The photo was taken the next day at camp.

Northwestern Itasca County.

We had a bait a few years back that was getting hit every day about an hour before dark...We set-up to hunt the bear and about half an hour before dark a pack of wolves lit-up the evening air with thier "kill" song....they were close, we guessed within a quarter mile, And we never got hit that year at that site again! THE END!

[mrklean]

makes me sure glad we found my bear we starting tracking it about about 8:45 found it around 10

[Random guy]

You should see what happens when they find a couple cubs without momma...just as bad.

[Cooter]

Or when they find one in a den during winter.

!!!!! lol

[Boar]

Wow that is crazy.

[lakeshoremunster]

was it wolves or was it yotes, I know that yotes will go for the guts before they go for the meat. But looking at that picture it looks like there is still enough of the bear left for a head mount, lol.

That is crazy though.

[bogwalker]

Timber Wolves. There were tracks and they were heard in that area earlier that night.

[CANOPY SAM]

Sure hope he was dead before they got to him. That'd be a tough way to go.

Was the client, or film crew dissappointed?

Actually, I believe the entrails are the first thing sought after. The hind quarters or any other meat for that matter is last.

[Neiko]

Bob, I believe you are right. The reason they go for the endtrails is because it has the thinnest skin and can get to the inside quicker.

[BobT]

I've also heard that the entrails provide the quickest and/or best energy return for the buck.

[Bear55]

Yep the guts/organs have more nutritional value.

I read an interesting story once about a guy stranded at sea for something like 3 months, lucky for him he was able to catch plenty of fish to keep himself fed. Anyway after a while he was tired of eating the meat and found himself wanted to eat guts, eyeballs, brains and all the weird stuff. His body wasn't getting what it needed from the fillets alone and it was sending him a message to eat the "good stuff".

Eyeball soup, yummy!

[reinhard1]

hey, was that andrew zimmerman. maby that's how he got the role in his show. still looks like some good meat left in those hind quarters. good luck.

When Black Bears feed on humans this is often the same scenario.

Bogs youv'e seen that in person?
