Lived in NE WI, the Green Valley area for 39 years and never saw a bear. I have seen two in the last year got a pic of this one heading into the woods behind my house. Kewl!

That's a great pic, Scott.
How populated is the area where you live?

Pretty much a rural farm area. Most of the farms not operating anymore and being bought out for house developments. The city is encroaching fast. I am only 20 minutes form Green Bay which is nice. Years ago you had to drive about an hour north to see bear, coyotes, and wovles. Now they are every where, there was even a wolf spotted in Door county on the penisula of WI, they figured it crossed the 7-9 miles of ice on the Bay last winter.

HIMO

Himo, only a couple 100 yards. I saw one twice that size last gun season running full bore across a hayfield while heading out to my tree stand. I had to do a double take, at first glance I thought it was a cow. The thing was huge! I guess it had been living in a cornfield. A farmer had been seeing it quite often. I and many others guessed it to be over 400lbs!

No cubs, looks like a shooter to me? You have a bear season where you live Scott? I am seeing a nice rug for the livingroom and a couple of bear roasts for the holidays :)

Yep we do, it's really hard to get a tag tho.

Well do you need a tag to wrestle him Scott .? My understanding has always been that's why bears hibernate in Wisconsin because the Iceshanty Warrior awakens with the first thought of ice and is looking to wrestle. LOL ;D
And you too Grumpy . You not in a wrestling mood either ?.LOL ;D

I was in British Columbia and Alaska last summer, and I got about an hour's worth of bear footage on video camera, I'll have to freeze some pics off of it and post it, if I get the time. there is one grizzly and two or three black bears on it.

Great picture Scott. I live in NW Wisconsin and my wife got some pictures of a big bear in the corn field next to our house while on a walk. Her stupid Schnauzer thought he would bark at it and then attack. I wish he would have gotten close enough to be a tasty little snack. The only problem is he probably taste like dung. A couple of bear had been hibernating around the area. Our neighbors found one in a large culvert close to their farm.
