Bear hit right in front of my house!

[BEER30]

Bear just hit right in front of my house. Marine returning to base hit him with his car. Marine is OK and car was towed off to get front repaired. Bear was approx 175 lbs. and was still alive when the Marine pounded on my front door. Immediately called the State Troopers and State Wildlife. Both departments gave me to green light to dispatch the bear if it posed a threat to anyone or tried to get out into traffic. Bear died within 15 minutes dues to major lacerations at his hip. Must leave bear in the front yard until DOT comes to pick him up tomorrow. Here is a link to the Photo Bucket album if anyone wants to view. Did not post pictures here due to the nature of the wounds to the bear. Veiw at your own risk!

I would have been all over the Wildlife Dept to slap a road kill tag on that bear and let me butcher him up.

Bear meat is some really good stuff, especially from a nice young bear like that one.

The best steak I ever ate was from a bear that my friend killed when it tried to break in his front door in New Hampshire , I never thought they could be that tasty.

Unfortunately NC Wildlife would not allow me to do so. I just went to the house a few minutes ago and the Bear is still laying in the yard with ants and flies all over it. I was instructed not even to move the bear last night. But if it's still there when I get home, I'm loading it up and taking it to the DOT's front doorstep myself ! If they wish to say or do anything about that, then I will invoke my Indian rights as federal law trumps state law. Bad enough they allow good meat to spoil to waste. In Alaska, people are allowed to be placed on a waiting list. If not picked up in a reasonable amount of time, the prisoners come fetch it. They should also allow the local soup kitchens to obtain the meats to help the needy.

I agree that it is a shame to intentionally waste the meat.

 

At least in Wisconsin, if a motorist hits an animal, that motorist has first rights to take the animal home for the meat or other purposes, like mounting if it happens to be trophy caliber. If the motorist that hit the animal does not want it then it is available to anyone that wants it, you simply have to have the LEO slap a road kill tag on it to make it legal for you to be in position of it out of season and/or without a hunting license. There is no cost for the road kill tag.

 

There are people around here that stop at every road kill and hit it with some spray paint, then on their way home from wherever they were they know that any unpainted carcases are fresh enough to take home.

 

I have stopped at active car deer accident scenes and ended up with a deer in the back of my truck when the original motorist did not want the deer.

 

Sounds like time to write your state reps to have the rules changed, there is no reason to intentionally waste all of that meat.
