RE: Bears!
I hunted in Jefferson county this year and had more problem with bears than ever before. My 4 year old son and I went to our club to check on some of the spots I had picked to bow hunt and we walked up on a HUGE sow and a cub at only about 30 to 35 steps. That was by far the scariest time I can remeber as a parent so far. My son will not go back to the club with me at all now. I have had them take my trail cameras off the tree with there mouth, just all kinds of problems. I wish they would let us kill some of them.

RE: Bears!
We have 5 acres in lake county just east of sorrento on 46 and over the years the bears have killed several of our goats and one came upon the porch and was looking in the plate glass door..i tried everything to get rid of them, including calling the FWC..all they said was, if we move one, another will just come by so they did nothing..i finally put up an electric fence and haven't seen a bear in two years..yes they need to kill off some and soon before someone gets killed..
