You guys that are in areas that include bear locally.....
Have the bear impacted your deer population in any negative ways?
We have giant black bear and the more bear #'s increase the fewer deer we're seeing

Re: Bears & Deer
I think the bears pick up a few fawns every year but they aren't much of a threat to an adult deer unless injured. Someone on the site posted a cool game cam pic of a beer and a buck in the same photo, the deer didn't seem worried and the bear didn't look interested in running the buck down.

Re: Bears & Deer
We did notice the fawn recruitment was way down this year. The thing that had me more concerned than that was the fact we are not seeing the deer density that we were seeing a couple years ago...BEFORE all these bears started invading us.
These things are getting so big around me they dont look real! I know you guys have some monster Black Bears up your way... we have had several checked in between 600-650lbs. I think I heard someone say something about a bear this year with a 22 7/8" skull
At any rate, I didnt know if the presense of black bears actually moved deer to other properties without bear...etc
