Actually a nice bear too. But he has mange and is injured. Limps badly right rear leg.
I have a video I'll try to load here.

Would I use my tag?
Yes no hesitation. Mange is only skin deep. But his injury. Well he'd be my 1st and still a trophy.

Not real keen on a bear rug.

That bear follows a sow and 3 cubs. I've seen him 3 times now 2 to 3 hrs after rhe sow was on camera.
Hoping for a daylight visit.

In PA the officers will go after bears with mange if they know where they are and dart them with medicine and they have been knocking the mange out of them. Perhaps Wisconsin does the same thing if they are made aware of the bears location.
