Who said it was directed at you or anyone? Self obsess much?

sh*t just got real

Sorry, I was in hung over and in a bad mood this morning when I read it. Now, I am buzzed again and feeling good.

I gots da pics tooooo!

John Russell, what were these pics taken?

Ha. No problem.

The date is on them but they were in Edwards County... southern part.

Several years ago in Burnet County, on the NE side of Lake Buchanan, we worked an accident where the driver swore he hit a bear. We laughed and told him the hogs around here get to be the size of bears. The GW arrived to assist and told him there has been no sightings of bears in this area. There was hair on the bumper so he collected the a sample and sent it to the lab. A couple of weeks later he called me and said the hair did come from a bear.

I seen one a few years ago while floating down the frio river near Leakey.

Seen a small black bear at my in-laws ranch in Terrell County a few years ago. A many lions on game cameras as well

Had a hunter from Alaska sitting in a blind with a thermal scope waiting on some pigs one night. The next day he tells me that he forgot to mention that he saw a black bear walk up to the road and stand up, look around then walk off back into the brush. He thought it was no big deal as he sees a lot of bears back in AK. I let him know that I had never seen one out there before. He swears it happened and he didn't seem to be a liar or crazy. IDK

Sure wish you fellows would at least give the county of the sightings or pictures.

Big pig.....

Black-Bears, are in Irion County. Moving North. Into Sterling, Mitchell Counties.
Perhaps; not setting up home-range. But are in the area.
They won't hurt you.

Mexican bears apparently are coming across the river. I know 4 years ago.

A black bear was killed Monday night after it was struck by a sport utility vehicle near the Laredo Community College south campus, state officials said.
The vehicle heading south on State Highway 83 sustained minor damage, and no one in the vehicle was injured, said Capt. David Murray, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden.
The bear was picked up by game wardens at about 10:30 p.m.
Black bear sightings are on the rise this year and have been reported in parts throughout the state, according to a Parks and Wildlife news release.
State officials say the ongoing drought and wildfires have caused the animals to search uncharted areas for food and water.
Murray said Parks and Wildlife law enforcement officials believe that the black bear must have come from Mexico, where the species are more prevalent.
“They are suffering the same drought in Mexico just right across the river,” Murray said. “We are seeing some of these black bears going out of their normal habitat in search of food and water.”
Earlier this month, Parks and Wildlife officials in Starr County caught and then relocated a young male black bear to West Texas. More familiar habitat exists there than in the Rio Grande Valley.

Have seen pic of bear on feeders in LA bears and pigs eating corn together.
if bears are in AR, OK,LA do you think their might be a few in TX

I have no desire to have to worry about walking up on a black bear in the dark or any other situation

There is a restocking program that has been going on for several years along the Sabine River bottom

Anyone ever run across a map showing black bear sightings in Texas?

For the most part black bears are not a major threat to live stock or deer. I grew up around them in NW Arkansas.

There was a 185 lb boar killed on hwy 90 a few years back outside of brackettville

No doubt that plenty of bear sightings are pigs, but the only time I have seen a pig stand up is when it is in a trap and trying to climb out.
