Default WV Black Bear- What a HOG!

This is a Black Bear that has been prowling around a families home outside of Morgantown, West Virginia. I guessed the weight of the bear to be around 450 to 500 lbs. Too bad bear (archery season) doesn't come in for another 6 months.

Nice one but wouldn't want him running around the house! He gets hungry enough he'll be in the house clearing out the fridge!

That's pretty cool. At least you don't have to take the garbage to the curb!
