Lenn, how big do the blackies get in your neck of the woods? They could get to 600 pounds back home in Oregon, but I have a friend in New Jersey whom I used to kid about his local bears. Then he sent a clipping about one going 900 pounds!
Bill this one from a few ears ago stood 7 feet tall, i`m guessing in that 600-700 range but only guessing.

A good friend was a Wildlife Biologist with WDNR here and dealt with our black bears quite a bit.
Spring is when the mother bears kick out the previous year's cub as she has new cubs to care for.
My buddy put it like this, "the older cubs are basically like our teenagers. Imagine a bunch of teenagers kicked out of the house and having to fend for themselves".
Thus a big reason why so many of them become a nuisance around residential areas.
Stay safe my friend. Bears are eating machines. Your . 45-70 might be needed.

Norma just came in from feeding the birds and guess who was there last night and tore some feeders up.

We have plenty here in Southside Virginia, in the last 18 months I've had 3 in the yard one of which came up on the porch. I haven't see any for a couple of months since I locked up my fish food and deer/turkey corn.
