My land is in Hopkins county, near Delta county. Our land is bordered by TPWD land on three sides. I noticed a new sign at the only public drop in point near us. I know a black bear was run over by a semi a few years back, but this sign was alarming/strange.

There are a few but why alarming?

Just thought the new signs were strange. I love black bear, I hunt them in Idaho every two years. Just would love to know some statistics on whats near us.

My thread a while back on that skull I found next to my dead hog is what peaks my interest. Alot of people thought it could of been bear.

They are in West Texas in the Trans Pecos I know and have been seen as far as Menard. East Texas should have a few now I would guess.

I dont know about Delta County but I know I have seen some pics of bears here in Texas on this very forum. If I remember right one thread had several pics of one in Red River county and another thread had several pics of one somewhere in the hill country area.

I have heard there are a few up around the Oklahoma border north of Clarksville which makes sense since there is a lake right there in Oklahoma with signs about bears in area.

That is area I am referring to my brother owns 140 acres in red river county he has never seen one and I have shot a few yotes and pigs there but the ole man down the road a piece claims he has seen them. He has few deer and turkey as well but we never shoot them.

There was a Black Bear shot in Menard about 2 or 3 yrs ago now illegally. Just northwest of town about a mile or so. I heard about it thru a friend.

Yes there are black bears in Texas and they are moving in to new areas. It is doubtful if there will ever be a huntable population here, but they are here.

For the person that said that they hunted bears in Idaho, where do you hunt?

I hunt in the Bitteroot Mountain range, near the Selway. We land in the famous Moose Creek landing strip. Thats where the smoke jumpers got started. I love it up there, its on the continental divide so its steep and ruggend. Lewis and Clark called this region the most dangerous of there whole trip. They lost alot of mules/horses in these mountains. I use Richie Outfitters.

I hunted out of Elk City this past September and plan on going back in 2012, it is one of the 2 bear units.

Why don't you google Black Bear and find all the pictures you want. Some topics don't require pictures, especially for people with experience.

He is posting that mess everywhere now about the dresses. Just another spamer!

Just saw that. LOL. I was about to make a bet with him. Was gonna need money to get me off my butt to upload the pics to photobucket tonite.

Just do it from your iPhone you don't have to move

Only one I have on this computer is flying in. My others are on my laptop. Good idea though!



My dad

I rarely use the computer for ThF to easy to use iPhone and photobucket ap

since all the border states have them,I would say so? AR has a season,LA will soon have one in a few years,OK has some so,seems reasonable..

Does THF have an app? When I use my iphone I am always scrolling it seems.

My dad's neighbor has seen one walking down the fence line. And I am pretty damn sure I got growled at by one out hog hunting one night.

only place i've seen them in texas was in big bend national park.
