Green Turtle Pond Bear attacking Deer footage!!!

[ScowardNJ]

I saw this last week on a Facebook page. It's not really a fishing report but some pretty amazing footage from one the local North Jersey Fishing Holes. The link is to the persons YouTube Channel. From there she posted 3 videos shot from her kayak of a NJ Black Bear drowning a deer for lunch along the bank of Green Turtle Pond.

Thats why we need a bear hunt. How many more Bambis need to die in the fangs of these merciless killers?

Bear should be banned from the habitat.

Evidence is clear that doe was lured away from protective area with a promise of a nice cold drink only to suffer in the hands of the vicious and cunning predator.

I call on to boycott Smokey the Bear until he takes a share of accountability for the actions of his extended family.

Unusual to take down a healthy deer. Thats disconcerting. If it will hunt down a 125-150 lb deer whats to stop it from hunting down a person like what happened to Darsh Patel? Bears are suppose to be scavengers/foragers not hunters.

Always be prepared for the...

I live up in WM & bear are a part of our lives. You have to be smarter than the average bear or else they will get your garbage, bird feeder, pets & you or anything else they want.

Had a pair of cubs destroy a section of my wooden fence just to get to a barrel of recycled plastic bottles. Came home to a broken fence & chewed up plastic all over my property. Looked like they had a fun day but I do not blame them, I blame myself for letting it happen.

That video explains why in the past 11 years I have only seen a handful of deer in the area but bears daily. The numbers have dropped considerably this year & I question whether we really need a hunt again.

The bad actors are the ones who live in the green areas around homes thus are not subject to hunting. The good bears are the ones who fend for themselves & do not look for handouts...seems to me like we just need to clean up the bad actors not the self sufficient bears as in the video. The bad characteristics gene pools are getting stronger as a result.

The video is tough to watch, nature is brutal.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life!

I know this is in poor taste but I learned two things from that tragic occurrence @ APAWASHA.

a) You do not need to out run the bear, just the slowest of your herd.

b) Bears like INDIAN FOOD.

....I KNOW, that was in poor taste but comedy is not pretty.
