ORIGINAL: mr.mc54 The land owner is fighting the DNR over the Large Black Bear that was hit by the combine in Dunn county WI. Their reason is they say the Bear was still alive when hit by the combine. When the bear was dressed out it was still steaming some four hours after it was hit. The bear was shot a day and a half earlier according to the ND hunter who shot it. The land owner who bought the bear from a warden says that they had a contract with the DNR when they bought the bear for $75.00 and they didn't know the bear was shot at that time. The land owner says that the reason the DNR wants the bear is because of it's huge size. This one will go to court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, you guys are pathetic.
The DNR allowed the farmer to have the bear because at the time there was no evidence of any wrong doing.
Later, it was learned the SD hunter had attempted to purchase a bear tag during the gun deer season. Flags went up, pieces were put together. The bullet holes were discovered. The DNR then needed the bear carcass for evidence and the investigation.NO different than any police investigation, evidence is gathered, perserved, and secured.
The whole thing is kinda boring standard stuff. This rumor spreading with wild a$$ speculation is for the tabloids. JMHO.
