Default RE: Bear almost stole my deer

ORIGINAL: Pawildman

I believe there are 50 lb. coyotes in PA. I also believe there are 800+ lb. bear and 200+ lb. deer. They are the ends of the extreme. We have killed more than one coyote at our camp, and none of them came close to 50 lb. They are long-legged rangy animals with lots of fur, and appearances are deceiving as to their actual weight.
the biggest we got was 47 pds..
a coyote could drag deer a little ways to hide it but not a long ways..
bear will drag one..

like said, i read a piece about a hunter that is part of the bass pro teeam..
he found a den with over 30 fawns in it that coyotes took there,he was from lock haven,pa..

of course,this was back when pgc denied that coyotes were killing deer...
