A Little Video of a Fawn Poacher

This is a little footage of the bear that we treed after it poached a fawn. It wanted out of there when Tate and Trent were coming to join us at the tree. It was a fun evening of scouting for Tate's elk hunt, though we didn't see any big bulls.

Worthless Bears!

I wish that we could take care of all the fawn poachers by way of extermination. I have done everything in my power this year. It is tough to increase the deer herd when brand new fawns are being slaughtered as they lay near their mothers. It would be great if the DWR would at least create a harvest objective for bears, similar to the current regs for lions.






My nephew spotted the bear while scouting for elk. We started stalking in to get some video and listened to this fawn screaming while we slipped in. It only took about 30 Seconds from the time the fawn started screaming until it was silenced. Pretty quick work really. I would guess that an adept bear could take quite a few fawns a day, if so desired.
