Was packing up to leave the lake last week and put a bag of garbage in the back of the truck to drop off on the way out. Within ten minutes this sow climbed in the truck and grabbed it. We ended up seeing a cub with her, which got me wondering how old/heavy you think this one is? And what constitutes a "cub" given bears are legal at 75 pounds? If momma has a "cub" with her that is over 75 pounds, are both animals legal, neither legal or what? I understand that offspring can hang with momma bear for quite some time (correct?) and not sure where the line of legal falls. Is a "cub" by definition under 75 lbs, or the fact it is hanging with momma bear make it a "cub" in the eyes of the law? I also understand that legal and ethical can be two different things so interested in both.
From the regs..."STATEWIDE RESTRICTIONS
It is prohibited to kill a female bear with cub(s)
or bears under 75 pounds."
