There is a bear in my tree.

Ok, I wake up this morning, shower, and am trying to hurry cause I have a haircut apoitment. I notice there is a woman on my lawn aiming a camera up at the huge trees out in frount of my house. I think nothing of it, this town is filled w/ crazy tree huggers. I leave out the backdoor to get my haircut. I return about an hour later and notice my street is blocked off, and a larger group of people are standing on the corner staring at this tree. I still think at this point that it is falling or something (which would suck, cause my house would be crushed). As I walk towards my house I realize, oh, theres a black bear in the tree.

WTF!!!

Ok, yeah, I live in central Wisconsin, but we are in a relatively big city here. Any decent amount of woods are 2 miles away, and those are pretty isolated patches, not really connected to a larger chain of wilderness, so why and how did it get all the way here.

Anyway, its still up in the tree. DNR was here again a few minutes ago but left. Not sure what they will do, but Ill keep you guys posted (I wonder if I can keep it if they kill it).

Yes! That's awesome!

Pictures please.

No camera. Im not sure what they are doing...seems like they are just letting him chill up there. Maybe waiting for some specialists to come in.

They'll probably just nail it with a tranquilizer.

Well, if they do hit him with tranqs he will either just pass out in the tree, or fall about 30 feet to the street. It will be really hard to catch him too.

Im frying up some spam, do you think it might lure him down?

Sure. Then he will kill you.

Bears do that.

I was searching for the video of the bear falling out of a tree and bouncing off the trampoline and found this messed up edited version with wacky music and lens flares:

I am in a house, he doesnt have thumbs so he probably cannot get in.

Apperantly their plan is to just let him stay up there until he comes down. Unforunetly the people who live across the street under the tree are kind of agitating him by starring, plus the other peopel coming up to look at him. He seems really scared and panting, so im not sure if he will actually get down until nightfall.

Man, that bear lands right on his face.

i like what i have in front of my house better, it's cheerleading camp. About 100 tan high school girls in short shorts jumping around and yelling for the last 3 days about 200 ft from my front door.

But bears are cool too ;P

That bear is so dead.

Pictures?

I went to get a pizza a month or two ago. When I was coming back this huge animal went running across the street. This other car and me both slammed on our brakes. Turns out it was a baby bear running crazy in my neighborhood. The police were chasing that thing till later on that night.

That'd probably be a cool video if some retard hadn't gotten a hold of it. I'd like to see an unedited version, that was pretty cool from what I could tell.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

update...bear is still hanging out.

Lead him a trail of tasty berries back to the woods.

Thats crazy!

I know I've asked you before, but where in WI do you live again?

I go to college at Stevens Point.


And they are bringing out pads now so I think they are going to tranq it!!! (god I wish I had a camcorder)

You should go wrestle it down like Zangief.

You should offer it a picnic basket!

I wish I could see this ;__;

Well, it ended kind of anticlimatically. They shot it. It climbed higher, knocked out the dart. Then climbed back down into the neck of the tree. After about 45 minutes they shot it again. Then they sat and waited for 30 minutes wondering how they were going to get the bear out. Somebody brought a forklift, the guys were lifted it up and the pulled it. Everybody got pissed on, which was funny.

I actually knew the guy working for the DNR though, that was kind of nice. Plus everybody else had to watch it from down the block and I got to watch it from my porch.

Damn did I want to see a bear fall though.

Anticlimactically? You're only saying that because you're not covered in bear urine. :lol:

Pictures? Pictures!??
It's like you hand is around my dick but you're concentrating on the afternoon Soaps.
You guys suck.

It would've been cool if you put a Fadora on its head and a picnic basket by its paw and then taken a picture.

i got the camera out and everything, and i was being all super-spy ish. But the view from my front windows is blocked by trees, and if i go outside there are parents sitting there that could see me. I could have gotten a few out of my room, but the zooom wasn't good enough anyway and i was feeling extra creepy.

They've been there the last few days, if they're back tomorrow i'll try again.

Make sure you wave to them before you start taking pictures of their daughters. It's the proper thing to do.

Barring that, call them so they'll be distracted answering the phone, and then take the pics.

Still disappointing, but I'm glad to know a conscious effort was made.

My brother lives in Missoula Montana. The University of Montana resides there and their team is named the Montana Grizzlies. The football team has won 2 national titles ( Division 1-AA) in 1995 and 2001. www.montanagrizzlies.com

I grew up in a town called Libby. Several nights in the summer, we had a black bear in the woods behind our house. Dogs around the neighborhood would bark at it, around 1 in the morning, for about a week.

Montana has the largest count of Grizzlies in the nation, at around 2,000.

black bears > grizzly bears

A black bear in a tree? That's nothing..

Underwater conifer?

They're endangered, you know.

Wtf man, get a camera phone! Then just act like a preteen with a cell phone at the mall, pretend to talk to someone. Then just click pics all day.

and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch.

Only in numbers. A Grizzly can reach around 1,000 pounds, where as a Black Bear won't get much bigger than 500 pounds.

Yeah, but the black bear is cooler cause you can steal their babies and the momma won't rake your face off.

It's true, I saw a whole presentation on it. Black bears are not that dangerous. They're all growl and no action.


Black bears in trees! So cute XD !!!!!

there was some documentary that was showing what life on earth could be like in a million years (based on real science), and they suggested that octapusses could develop into tree dwellers, capable of amazing acrobatic feats, and with an intellect greater than our own!

IT HAS BEGUN!


BTW, I wihs I had a bear in my trees. I only have bats and possums (though don't be fooled, possums are fucking savage)

I don't understand how somebody can not have a camera, but I really can't understand how somebody can not have a camera when they have a bear in their tree. Hell, I would have at least gone and got a $4 disposable one or something.

I spent half of all my money on a $10 haircut that morning. That is why I didnt have a camera.
