What a shame.

Elevated? Do you think someone was sitting in a tree stand in early August, hunting bear? Or somebody shot it off their back deck? The latter sounds most likely.

This killing occurred in 2014 according to the article. I have read a few articles in the last few years where the PGC has snagged some illegal bear killers, hopefully this was one of them. Unfortunately, the illegal killing of bears is an all too common occurrence. Sometimes after some yahoo kills a bear illegally of this size and realized how much help they will need to retrieve the animal or skin it where it lays, they just leave it lay. In this case the bear was along a road when it died and not a good place to work on it.

Yeah, a bear isn't something you can just run off with. Especially one of that size.

My question was: was it someone trying to harvest a bear out of season? Or was it someone who decided to deal with a nuisance bear on their own terms? Either way, it's a pretty crappy thing to do.

I didn't realize this happened in 2014. Thought it was recent.

lots of slobs out there sadly

as for folsk hunting in AUG
down my one farm I managed I was mowing hay a few times and seen guys in camo in treestands off property, ona NO hunting property too boot
called local warden , but never came ?

I even offered to walk the warden into the area after wards as they had ladderstands set up, and again on a NO hunting property, posted and a private housing development,(1,100 acres NO hunting)
but never got any desire from warden
