  • For the first day we were very cautious that the mother may be arround, as they usualy are. We soon heard that a bear and her cub were visiting other homes when someone shot the mother either for protection or because it was open season for bears at that time. It is unlawful to shoot a bear with a cub so we hope it wasn't the latter. We could only assume that this was the now motherless cub because no mother bear ever showed up.

  • Do you know how dumb it is to feed a wild bear?

  • LOL

  • I completely agree with previous posts!!

  • Feeding wild animals is bad because they get to trust humans, and humans are the enemy in most cases. A bear that trust an human is a dead bear

  • Assuming it doesn't have a mother is not a smart thing. And even if it is, don't feed it, and call the Game Warden, who will make sure it will be cared for - relocated - and kept away from people. Feeding wildlife will creature problems for not just yourself, but your neighbors as well. They can and will become aggressive if they do not get what they are after... This was not a smart move...

  • don't be stupid, don't feed them

  • @TheNiceperson2 what where they supposed to do, let it starve? like they said, it was orphaned, winter was coming, and local game and wildlife people where busy at the moment. it changes little if he is reintroduced to the wild, adult bears don't have much fear of people anyways. chances are, however, he'll end up in a zoo as he'll have a higher likelyhood of survival.

  • Great footage, that cub is a cutie. 

    I would think berries or nuts would be a better feed choice than meat. Or does the meat offer nutrients the cub is missing from the mother's milk?

    Thanks for looking out for this bear.

  • awww so cute, I hope you sent it to the taxidermist before it got too big.
