Fishpondc Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 On the way to winnie last weekend,I saw a dead bear in the ditch on 35 by sandstone.I've never seen a roadkill bear, but these things happen.On the way back, we saw 2 between moose lake and pine city. Is it just me or is this because of the weird weather we've had lately, or is the bear population up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlm Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Bear population is up and with the cool Spring, I am sure they need to travel further to find good grits. Too bad they meet their maker this way but I guees that is all part of the cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogwalker Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The bears came out early this Spring. The DNR said the road kill bears were feeding on car kill deer from the Winter. Bear decompose faster than any other mammal I know of but their hides last a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Heard a rumor that a huge bear was killed on 94 near Hudson WI this spring. 500+ lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roosterslayer Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I was up in the bagley area over the weekend and seen a huge sow with three cubs, maybe 100 yards from the road. The sow had a great chocolate coat. pretty cool to see them in the wide open like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
