Didnt kill a deer this weekend but did get a very interesting picture on my camera. Im 99.9% sure its a bear, that or a man in a bear suit! What do yall think? This is south of Sheffield Texas!

Hog. Look at the curly tail.

Dont think it is a bear though.

You will be 99.9 percent next time you go and your feeder is all jacked up like youve never seen.

Lots of bear pics this year

That appears to be a bear. Nice lil something extra to think about walking out to the stand opening(every) morning

Hog??? it has paws!! Are you serious?

Look at the feet. Not a hog for sure. Almost looks photoshopped but there are bear in that area from time to time.

If that's a hog, it's got the funkiest hooves ever.

Bear for sure. Cool pic, hope he doesn't screw everything up.

I can assure you its not photoshopped, i have better things to then get on here and trick you guys

How far south of Sheffield? Those are some big oak trees in the background? You bowhunting that feeder?

That's a bear!

Yes im bowhunting that feeder, the bear walked about 10 yards in front of my tripod

Gonna make that next morning walk in pretty exciting I can tell you that.

Yes it did, dont know if yall remember the thread about the lion we called in at night but this is the same place. Now i have lions and bears to think about!

LOL! Seriously! Hunt much?

The walk would be exciting...but the wait in the stand before first light would probably get me more. Every critter that crinkles a leaf would send a shiver down my back

I hunted about 15-18 miles north of Sanderson towards Ft. Stockton just west of were the Hwy turns toward Sheffield in 1994 for mule deer. One of the guys had a corn feeder in draw called Big Draw close to the Longfellow. He said just before dark a large black animal come in between him and the feeder, run the deer off and then turned towards him and stood up on its hind legs. Was 100% sure it was a bear but ground was to hard to see tracks.

Surprised nobody has chimed in with "Chupa!" by now. So I will...

It's a Chupa!

Pretty crazy, you get emails about a bear from time to time in that country but never guessed i would have a picture of one when i pulled my sd card

It's an escaped Snow Monkey!!!!!!!! Lol!

The biologist on the ranch we hunted said that they had started to move into Texas from Mexico a few years before that one was spotted out there due to the bad drought in Northern Mexico. Now with trail cams there are more and more of them being seen.

has anyone else seen any bears in those parts??

say goodbye to your feeders! You think coons are a problem, wait till the bear gets through with your feeders.terrell county

Nice bear trap. Need to tie a rope onto that rock so when that bear pulls on the rope he gets a headache.

on the positive side, there are people paying good money to shoot those up north! man how cool would it be to harvest one of those with a stick n string in your own back yard!

Me and a buddy saw one near there going to del rio a couple of years ago
