Heavy bears

Post by Bear hounder »

Bears fatter than nomal this year .we have been killing a few bears this fall and we are noticing that they are fatter than they usually would be by this time we have had a very dry year this year in ontario and that makes it even more interesting. I asumed their being less water would mean less food we also had an easy winter last year maybe they had a little extra fat to sarnt with . Just wondering if any body else has found the same thing this year

We have noticed the sane thing, we hunt desert mountainous country last year not a single bear had a half inch of fat on them. We just killed a big bear last week with over an inch of fat in some places and it's just starting,to get cold

Maybe this is mother nature's way of telling us we have a rough winter coming.
