bear
Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. They are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Common characteristics of modern bears include large bodies with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and short tails.
While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous, and the giant panda feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous with varied diets. With the exception of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They may be diurnal or nocturnal and have an excellent sense of smell. Despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they are adept runners, climbers, and swimmers. Bears use shelters, such as caves and logs, as their dens; most species occupy their dens during the winter for a long period of hibernation, up to 100 days.
Bears have been hunted since prehistoric times for their meat and fur; they have been used for bear-baiting and other forms of entertainment, such as being made to dance. With their powerful physical presence, they play a prominent role in the arts, mythology, and other cultural aspects of various human societies. In modern times, bears have come under pressure through encroachment on their habitats and illegal trade in bear parts, including the Asian bile bear market. The IUCN lists six bear species as vulnerable or endangered, and even least concern species, such as the brown bear, are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these most threatened populations are prohibited, but still ongoing.
I have been in Welches for a couple years, and loving every minute of it. I have also hunted by butt off, with no luck. Being from the East coast, bear is what has really gotten me excited (the long season is great). I have a ton of white tail deer under my belt (bow and gun) and even a pope and...

I know they're supposed to be around, but this is the first time in the six years I've been here that I've seen one. He was about deck level across the creek and browsing through tree stumps for goodies.
He was maybe five feet or so long and looked really healthy. We think that with all the...

Getting very excited here for Spring Bear in a few weeks. I got a new load developed for the .338 and 7mm mag and I put a new Leupold scope on the Browning X-bolt. Worked super hard with my hunting partner last season to get this nice Boar around the 3rd week of May and about an hour before...
Disclaimer: I have spent months in Alaska in areas where bears frequent, including the Kenai peninsula. I have also spent time in Montana, including in GNP and a few other areas where bears are known to be a problem. I once spent an afternoon off from work in Yellowstone. I have a bear that...

I drew a spring bear tag, and plan on putting in for an either sex elk archery tag for the fall. I am well prepared and have some really kick bubblegum friends I have made since moving to Oregon a few years ago and plan on dragging them along with.
Here is a favorite fun video by Paul Harrell comparing the effectiveness of the 10mm and 45acp for protection against lions tigers and bears oh my. I almost put this in the hunting section since many people who hunt consider the 10mm an option but there are also many people who choose a 10mm or...
