I've been hunting for 27 years and have never seen a dead bear or bear skeleton in the woods. Come to think of it , I've never seen a live bear in the woods either (seen one run across road once) , and we have thousands of bears in northern Wi. As far as finding dead deer with their necks broke and body parts missing , we've had the same thing up north. I read a very interesting article written by some professor who has a theory on the "dead deer & bigfoot" connection. The things that seems to be the most common among the deer finds , broken neck or back , guts ripped out (not by teeth , but by a semi sharp object like knife made of bone) , legs missing and the kicker is , the only thing missing from inside is the liver. This professor's theory is they are eating the liver before a harsh winter with a lack of food. One liver contains enough protein to nourish a body for a month. He also believes the missing legs are a connection to several caves that were found in Washington containing deer leg bones that were made into tools.
