Dead Bear

[BizCT]

An outfitter I hunted with in PA sent me this trail cam pic he got. Pretty funny! Bear almost looks dead.

[Paula]

ha, thats odd

[meatmuzzy]

I wonder what he's doing?

[BizCT]

I would say sleeping, but it appears its eyes are open?

[Doewhacker]

He is listening for approaching foot steps.

Wierd pic, but neat.

[First-light]

Off with your head you beast!

[Doewhacker]

"I love this stump so much I am gong to hug it" Would that make him huggie bear?

[BizCT]

Maybe he's drunk and fell down?

[Paula]

off with thy head!

[Stretcher Guy]

SHHHHH....I think I hear a hunter coming from thatta way!!!

[Doc]

Tough night. Normally he'd be hugging the toilet bowl.

Or maybe he's just gotten too much into indian lore and is listening for stampeding buffalo.

[chiefbkt]

Tree hugger...

[ny hunter]

Stump or pillow no big deal.

[Cabin Fever]

[Lawdwaz]

Looks like he is rubbing his face into the bait on the stump.

Looks like he is rubbing his face into the bait on the stump.

That is the most likely scenario, its legal in PA ain't it?

[papabear]

I hear them moving in here. Now how do i get them out ?

[BizCT]

From the PA regulations book:

Taking Advantage of Food or Bait: It is unlawful to hunt in or around

any area where artifi cial or natural bait, food, hay, grain, fruit, nuts, salt,

chemicals or minerals, including their residues, are used, or have been

used within the past 30 days, as an enticement to lure game or wildlife

regardless of the type or quantity. Hunters are responsible for ensuring that

the hunting area has not been baited before they begin hunting. They

should physically inspect the area and question landowners, guides and

caretakers. This section does not pertain to hunting near areas where accepted

farming or habitat management practices are taking place (example:

hunting near food plots on game lands is legal). Any natural or manmade

nonliving bait can be used to attract coyotes for hunting or trapping.

Scents & Lures: Estrous scents and lures, or other non-food source cover

scents are legal for deer. Scents and lures that contain any form of natural

or artifi cial food stuff, including, but not limited to, corn, apple and

acorns are not legal. Use of drip devices are legal, with legal scents and

lures, as long as they don’t violate the prohibition against electronic devices.

The use of scents or lures while hunting bears is prohibited.

So it legal pre season, just can't hunt over it. Got it.
