York county is not traditional bear country.But one was raiding a birdfeeder when the homeowner shot itThe bear made it to a nearby road and collapsed.Game warden came to dispatch it and discovered it was shot before.

Here come da fines. Bear shot out of season. Hunting license? Feeding bears is illegal.

Yeah, that guy is in for a heap of fines.
Gotta laugh at the comments about the bear tho. " We were invading their space". Hasn't been bears in York county for a couple hundred years. Lol

Just had a bear rodeo in Lancaster city.They chased it for a couple days before tranquilizing it and relocating it.When they had it on the ground they let some kids examine it up close before relocating it.

Bears are now commonly showing up in areas they hadn't been in for many years. But that's because we "invaded their space". They apparently hadn't gotten around to reclaiming their former spaces, until recently?
Last year something knocked our large bird feeder off'n the pole out back. Since I've seen big does try to clean out the sunflower seeds, by putting their front hooves on it and reaching into it, figured that's what had happened? Then I found out a neighbor a few hundred yards down the road had a bear on their deck, ravaging their bird feeders.

The bears “home” is wherever the bear likes to be. Bears don’t get survey marks or land ownership. IMHO the reason we are seeing more in places that are not the norm, is because we have a large bear population.
I can only assume that if this shooter shot the bear, he was either completely ignorant of game laws, or figured he wouldn’t get caught.
I’ll go with the second option.
