What does a bear do...

chewyman55 · Mar 6, 2012

Random question of the day here: Have any of you have seen how a bear gets over (or through) a barbed wire fence? The thought of one jumping doesn't seem right. Maybe between strands? Or under like a Pronghorn? Just got to wondering....

Under or through.

Kind of like the ageless question of how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood????

It would only be a guess on my part but would say under or thru the strands. I'm sure someone can answer your ? But FYI Pronghorn will and do jump fences. Have seen it many times in Wyoming and South Dakota.

It is! Clearly I've been pondering the deep mysteries of the universe today.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-06-12 AT 06:17PM (MST)[p]ha I knew I was going to take heat for this one. Honestly, I was curious because one of the spots I bear hunt, borders a fence. It's crossed my mind, "If I spook a bear here...is he going to go blasting through that fence or what?" That's the beauty of hunting...crap like that can run through your head

Maybe they do like this bear...not only is he a "campground organizer", but maybe he negotiates with USFS, BLM, and Range permittees about leaving gates open sometimes for all bears to pass!;-)

Bears are intelligent.

good question!!! ill bet they walk through or climb over possibly find a stump or rock next to the fence and climb on it and jump the rest idk!

ive never seen a pronghorn jump a fence but i dont doubt it i have always seen them go under or through. blm actually makes range fences antelope friendly the make you put the second from the bottom wire a smooth wire.

I watched a bear cross a road in front of me and plow right through the strands of a fence. Didn't slow him down a bit, but left a pile of hair behind.
