i heard rumors somebody shot a big one in perry county somewhere..didn't get any details though. Funny at one time that would have made front page news around here.
Anymore it's just a passing comment. Used to be all the bear were up north. Years ago i could never understand why we didn't have more bear around juniata and perry county's...Sure can't say that anymore.

There was a 499lb pound black bear killed illegally the first day of rifle deer season. He told the WCO it was charging him. My mom works with the wife of the man that shot it. There was also a 500+ bear killed by a car in landisburg the first day of rifle.

Thats what I heard, was he charged with it or is it still under investigation?
