“He’s smart. He’s super smart,” Vaughan said. “He’s a big, bad boy.”

As a former resident of the high-country of Colorado who’s had her own encounters with bears, this black bear story out of Nevada peaked even my interest.

So far, the bear-who has been reported as “huge”, weighing over an estimated 700 pds-has:

-Escaped from inside an Nevada Incline Village home after being shot twice: one between the eyes at close range-the bullet, from a 44 magnum handgun fired from the top of a set of stairs, purportedly bounced off the bear’s skull, after being shot again, the bear split,

-Broken into garages and cars,

-Caused an estimated $70,000 in damages, and,

- Had avoided being caught in “bear traps”.

“He’ll walk right by a trap, he won’t go in them. He’s really random in where he goes. He’s made it real tough to catch up with him.”
