Lawdwaz 14815 Posted June 28, 2020 Needless to say the dates are incorrect per usual....... Questions for those experienced in such: In the second video, you can see a second bear coming off to the left before the clip ends, is it two adults? The first clip is obviously a sow with two cubs. Are those cubs one year old? Quote Please support the hunting of Mourning Dove In New York State. For information, visit nydovehunting.weebly.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pygmy 15038 Posted July 3, 2020 Large ears, relatively long legs = relatively small bear..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn it all, I was thinking they were giants with big ears........ But seriously the body on the bear in the second video (with the second bear just coming into view at the end) appears to have a fairly beefy body and big neck......that said, I know having only shot one bear that big ears mean little bear.

mowin 3858 Posted July 3, 2020 Bears usually breed in June. 2nd video could be a younger sow that's in heat with a boar following. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Man 7881 Posted July 3, 2020 I believe the second video is of 2 siblings prolly 2 year olds momma kicked off. I've seen them hang together for nearly a year after. New Cubs yould be 1/4 or 1/3 the size of her and would be the size of large xl raccoon or porkupine. Quote I've hunted almost everyday of my life.. the rest have been wasted!

G-Man 7881 Posted July 3, 2020 These are 9 month olds and momma, current Cubs are even smaller.. 4 Quote I've hunted almost everyday of my life.. the rest have been wasted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crappyice 13081 Posted July 3, 2020 Them bears are moving with some purpose huh? I’ve only seen one bear while hunting and a few while driving - they always seem to just mosey on around. Your videos(quite cool by the way) had them making ground.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That second video I believe IS 2 adult bears. The first bear my money says is a sow, and the one following a bigger bear being a boar pursuing her. It also looks like the second bear has a limp in the front shoulder. You (I) can se it as he first comes into view. Second bear looks big from what I can tell. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncountry 1252 Posted July 11, 2020 The bears are slowly building out a population out of the foothills of the ADKs. It hasnt been that many years since they opened a season down here in the valley. Unfortunately this guy is too close to town and causing lots of damage, so wont make until the season. Seems like a pretty big bear. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New York Hillbilly 658 Posted July 12, 2020 That is one BIG bear! It looks the size of one I saw recently someplace online a week ago or so from a campsite. I think that one was in Old Forge. People were walking around it taking pictures like they were hanging out with a big Lab. I thought, "oh well it's a matter of time authorities end up killing him as a nuisance", because people encourage the bears behavior. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
