This picture was off of the ketchum mountain ranch west of Mertzon, TX. There have also been several other sightings reported in the same area. Pretty cool pic. I am pretty sure it is real. Supposedly the ranch sent it to the sheriffs office.

Don't doubt it's real. Bear are moving back into that area.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Just because you haven't been huntin' your whole life doesn't mean you don't want to spend the rest of your life huntin'.
