Never underestimate the under handed dealings of the DNR. If they want that bear, believe me... they will confiscate it if they have to. As for what they do with them, they like to have a full body mount and then decorate their offices. Ever see the one in the Park Falls office? That thing is huge.

I am sure they will use the fact that since it was shot prior to the farmer's combine hitting it, that they will have to have the animal. Once they get their hands on it, believe me.. that farmer will never see it again.

A trophy like that is worth big money. And the DNR just over looked that when they signed the contract with the farmer. It was a moment of stupidity on the DNR's part. But of course we all know they have lots of moments.
