Im lovin it too! Great video, thanks for postin it!
Very cool encounter. Thanks for sharing. You are to be commended for letting her go with her cubs. The cubs would have probably been big enough to make her legal but I love your decision to give Mama a pass. Great job on the pic’s and video.
I attended a DNR public input meeting a year or two ago and specifically asked the game warden to clarify the law as to whether or not a Sow would be legal if her cub or cubs were clearly over 75 lbs. His response was to “Shoot the cub”, but the sow would be off limits. So basically, if a sow has a cub of any size she is not legal even if the cub is. However, since there is a two bear limit if someone was to shoot the cub first does that mean the sow is now legal game since she would no longer have a cub by her side. Seems like some of the Bear regulations could be cleaned up a bit.
