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.

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?

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.

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.
