Bullfrog, That bear that they found with crippled back legs I believe was struck by a truck right in front of our home. I saw the bear hit one night as it drug the neighbors garbage can across the highway. It was a large straight truck with a push plate like a big tow truck that hit it. The truck was going very fast. The bear flew into the weeds. We looked for it in the morning and saw where it drug itself into the woods. It died or was shot 30 miles away a year later.

I’m asking in reference to one that visits my farm every June for blueberries.

We had a female bear that stayed around our place in Carrabelle. The neighbors daughter walked up on it going to their car. we had a patch of palmetto bushes between houses. He cut them down after that I didn't care. Have at it. I didn't go out much at night though it's dark in them woods.

By the way, when we were banging the pots and pans together we had two family members trapped in the water and a bear in between them and the house. We should have asked the bear to let them go past to just go in the house? You talk shit about me but you are the person who has become a complete asshole. It's interesting how you can talk "shit" about anybody you want but the minute it gets flung back you get your panties in a wad. I'll take JB's word over Florida black bears than a whole paragraph of your words.

Use to have a 80 something year old aunt who lived in Ellijay GA. Her property backed up to Rich mountain which was loaded with bears. They would get into he hog troughs and eat. She would go outside and beat them with a broom when she caught them.
Black bears are a terror on the deer population. We can dog them in Chattahoochee and Chestatee. I went last year and when went cast the dogs out they would strike a trail in minutes. It's over run with bears. Florida is just as bad and as poorly managed

This year I have counted at least four dead bears on SR 20 between US 231 and Tallahassee. And don’t get me started on all the wild hogs!

Are hogs open season year round? Few folks really worry about killing hogs. Bears at least have some mysticism around them. Gonna eat you or whatever. Big raccoons is about all they are. I can see the old lady whacking them with a broom -

Hogs are only open during the published season dates on FL’s WMAs. A lot of the land in the referenced area is closed to hunting hogs much of the year.

A mama bear with 3 cubs killed a friends dog over the weekend. The cubs climbed on his balcony after some trash and his dogs were inside and heard the commotion and they started barking. One of the dogs ran out a doggie door and ran downstairs after the bears. The cubs along with mama had climbed a tree by this time but when the dog ran to the tree barking the mama came down the tree and killed the dog. They know the bears are there and they do all of the stuff that they can to limit their interaction with them. They had just gotten home with groceries and left the balcony gate open by mistake that allowed the dog to go downstairs and they had set their trash bag out on the balcony just temporarily until they could take it down and lock it in the "trash storage". It all happened within 10 minutes of them getting home. This is in Lanark Village and the bears are a nuisance especially in the old part of town where the "barracks" housing is. Lots of people leave trash out and that just invites the bears. My friends are really torn up over their little dog, they are blaming themselves for their letting her get out. They don't blame the bears at all and knowing my friend like I do, I doubt he would have shot the mama bear even if he could have. He would not have wanted the cubs to be without a mama.

Are hogs open season year round? Hogs on private property in FL can be harvested year round.
