This bear has been killed in AT LEAST 6 places so far...Macon county IL, Minnesota, Taylorville IL, Central WI, Kewanee IL, and Henry IL.

And for everyone that says they 'heard' it was in a certain area of IL, someone from that area comes in and says they've heard nothing of the sort...

Makes a believer out of me.

Just because we cant disprove the existence of cougars(in IL), bears, elvis, or bigfoot, doesn't make it true. It's a shame that some things can get so out of hand, and that some people will believe them all.

Oh, and another rumor...the other night I heard a story about a rack that was found from a deer wounded during the '05 gun-deer season. This rack, which is now sitting on the floor of a farmers barn, was scored at 216" net typical. I know the guy that 'supposedly' has it, I'm gonna go steal it and sell it for a bucket of cash...Amazing how I've never heard of it before, since I know the taxi. that supposedly scored it. I would think he would've mentioned that sometime.So run and tell everybody, a world record 'pick up' , and I know where!!!! For a small fee I'll let you shake the hand of the guy that wounded it!!!!
