Tree line BEAR ATTACK
BEAR ATTACK
Lynda and I came upon a once in a life time scene while out for a drive on thursday. WARNING THE VIDEOS & PHOTOGRAPHS ARE VERY GRAPHIC. While on a secondary highway I noticed what I thought was a Black Bear wrestling with a cub in the tall grass on a large field. I stopped and backed the truck up to where I could see better. It was a large Black Bear but it wasn't playful activity. It had a calf in its mouth that it was dragging towards the Tree line. Before I could get my camera activated a large Bull from the main herd of cattle came charging to the rescue of the Calf. Forcing the Bear to let go of it and retreat. The Bull stayed with the Calf and the Bear Stocked and Circled the two for over 20 minutes. The Bull charged the Bear once more in an attempt to frighten it off. We knew who the Calf and Cattle belonged to and made a run for the farm as we didn't have their phone # (we have it now) to sound the alarm. We met him on the way as he was in the process of Haying. He went to get his truck and we circled back to the scene where the Bull and the herd had abandoned the calf in the middle of the field but the Bear had not returned yet and the Calf had Collapsed in the tall grass from its wounds. Shortly after the farmer showed up walked the tree line looking for the Bear who had totally disappeared then tended to the Badly injured Calf. The prognosis for the calf was not good at this time the mauling was severe. The last picture shows just some of the puncture wounds the Calf sustained.
