BEARS

[saddleman1]

With several sightings around where I live and also have livestock, what are the percussion's of having to save your livestock or dogs from an attack or a bear in the pasture with them, in taking one down. I would ALWAYS make that my last choice to take any animal down in that situation. Thanks for your reply and keep up the great work!

Bear spray works good for getting your point across to an ole pesky black bear.

Any bear shooting would be thoroughly investigated, and the investigation would determine TWRA's actions.

Just having a bear in the pasture with livestock would not be justification to shoot the bear.
