Consider this....I live with in 15 minutes of Decatur, Illinois. The only place that this bear story has been told is on websites or coffee shops. The rumor/story says that DNR was contacted and the bear was put down. It was supposedly a 300lb male. The problem with the story is this...if it happened in the greater Macon/Christian County areas it would have been all over the local news. The local news here jump all over any story that has nothing to do murder, violence or job loss in the area.

Sorry boys but I am throwing the BS flag on this one.

I know there are pics of the incident, so it happened somewhere just not here
