RE: Large Black Bear hit by combine was dead when hit
You know, I thought that it was wierd that a bear would be hibernating in a corn field but when you hear something like this and a paper reports it you believe it. The farmer only lives about two miles from my house and I am sure he had nothing to do with the crime here. It is just crazy that the warden didn't check the bear over better. As far as the taxidermist goes, hemost likelydid see the bullet holes and reported it to the DNR. I don't know if he did but you sure would think he (the taxidermist) would know what bullet holes would look like. This whole deal is so stupid it makes me sick that a bear of his size and age has to meet an ending like this.[:@][:@][:@]
The hunter that shot this bear should never be allowed to hunt again period!
