| Samantha can knock a squirrel off her bird feeders out the kitchen window from about 75 feet. Can't imagine a bear would be any harder to hit than that, especially considering that most of the bears I see rummaging through trash cans up in Vilas just look at you like "what do YOU want..."

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We have hundreds of trail cam images of 15 bears or more. I only have a few of them, Keith is managing the hunt for his friend from the DNR.
After one of the big ones is harvested, perhaps. Until then...

Really nice color photos. Big racoons, I guess. |

| Mr. Worrall, you must live in one of the greatest places on earth. Big bear, moose, muskies. You're a lucky man. |

| Bears and Moose aplenty.
You see much in the way of wolves, Steve? And I gotta ask, how about Bigfoot?? 
We've only seen one wolf by our place in Conover. We've only come across one bear in 32 years, but our friends about three miles away have 5 bears around their house. No Sasquatch yet, though. |

Kidding.

Bigfoot lives by Lugerville near the Phillips area. The guy who witnessed it made some pretty good money doing guided sasquatch tours. |

| You leave my uncle out of this Flambeauski...
Just two wolves, eh? I would have expected more. Is there a correlation between the two that anyone knows of? Higher number of bears equals less wolves? Just curious as I have no clue and the water is still too warm to fish down here. |

Location: Smith Creek | Wolves don't like to be seen. I've still never (100 percent sure) seen a wolf in all my years up here and I'm surrounded by some of the biggest wolf packs in the state. Neighbors trapped one last year. CPR'ed.
The wolves and bears prey on each other whenever they can. But the guys running bear hounds say some of the best spots are where the wolf packs are. |

Location: Brookfield, WI | That Hodag infuriates me.
This thread is confusing. I thought it was about bears, then I'm reading about boar and sows, which are pigs. And a boar tried to climb a tree? I've heard the expression when pigs fly, but now they're climbing trees? My wife's uncle once killed a boar, or maybe it was a bear, with a knife. A pigsticker.
What the hell goes on up there in the wilderness, anyway? One thing I know is, I don't like sharks, and would not swim in the ocean unless shipwrecked. And then hopefully only long enough to get in a life boat. I saw a snake on the golf course the other day. It was slightly larger than a big nightcrawler, and I suspect it would have made a good walleye bait.
If you believe in using live bait. Which I don't because of the cruelty.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Hopeful,
It's a crazy existence up here. We even have to worry about some goofy dehydrated meat eating furry thing that looks like a hippy on steroids and really hates practical jokes, at least it seems that way on TV. We don't have wild pigs up here much, so we call our bears by the same names so we feel like we have achieved the same social status as the South. It's a constant worry.
Potsticker...I've heard that one. |
