So the DEC is trying to control the deer population? That makes about as much sense as the government trying to control the financial market. Oh. ---

We used to have bears/bearcubs all the time at my parents house in Hornell. I tried to pet a cub once, I got like 3 feet away from it reached for it and it huffed at me and I shit my pants and ran away like a school girl dodging cooties. ---

The DEC HAS been releasing wildcats, bob cats, etc. to control the coyote population. They just deny doing it ---

i dont know what it was called, but there was a report in west seneca about a big cat spotted, and it was right next to my house. my car was actually parked about 15feet from it. i thought it was the neighbors dog and it just got out, because it was around a tree, and then it looked up and i was like FUCK thats not a dog lol. i got in my car and drove away very fast like a pussy (no pun intended) i should have taken a picture ☹ ---

Heres a few pictures my mom snapped I believe this past summer. (Ignore the blur, shes not good with a DSLR and focusing) American Bald Eagles in Hornell, bear cubs and mothers. The bears typically show up every night before dark to steal corn/sunflower seeds my mom has out for the birds. ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2515.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2515.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2521.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2521.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2505.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/DSC_2505.jpg) Also my grandfather used to big game hunt and has a lot of animals he had stuffed from local and around the world (until he had a heart attack tracking a grizzly that sprung on him in Russia, surprisingly he still killed it, stands about 10ft tall, big bear for sure). Used to tell me stories about Mountain Lions/Bobcats etc in the area that frightened me as a kid lol. ---

bobcats are native to this area. Cougers and Blackbears used to be native to this area, but were hunted out/driven off. The black bear population is exploding right now. I wouldnt be suprised if we had then regularly in the area in another 5 years. They arent far away if you think about it. They have sightings all over, hell I saw one a few years ago. They get driven away by large males and have to go somewhere. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/big-cat-hit-by-truck/61965.md?page=1)
