sick bear......

[srupp]

Went out to have coffee with mike 2 bears..and Mr.T..they were out by Horsefly camping and hunting bears
8 years fighting WCB..still..kept me away from going out Wed.
Couldn't find the guys but walked a short bit into a honey hole..and heard a strange noise..
Peered around the corner and in the grizzly cut block..there was a 5 1/2 foot cinnamon brown bear ...PUKING..losing his lunch..the entire enchalada. ..
Seen a lot of strange things over the years but not a wretching..vomiting bear..
He looked healthy, not thin..nor in distress..I didnt really want to check out if he had a regular strong radial pulse..lol..very nice coat..no rubs..not interested in my presence.
Imagine bears get sick too..just not seen by me till today..
Still dont know where the hunters went.....

Must have eaten some bad roadkill?

[northof49]

Maybe ate some rancid old carrion and stomach said no thanks

[gunpower]

He may have eaten a tree hugger !!!!!

[srupp]

Hmmm not merely coughing...spitting..but serious horking...ya eating dead roadkill could adversely affect his digestion

[RyoTHC]

[Fella]

Very unlikely IMO.
Their digestive system is designed to eat carrion,some badly decayed similar to other carnivores.
Like humans bears get sick or the bear is wounded. There is also a chance that the bear ate something poisonous that was prepared by humans.

[Gateholio]

Should have collected it and tried to sell it, like ambergris.

;)

[boxhitch]

Or he got into some good greens and made a pig of himself, maybe just regurgitating

Started the weekend to soon.😁

Nothing like downing your first 26'r, after raiding your first (of many) campers!...

Seen it first hand, camping in Ucluelet on a fishing trip...

I named this one bear, Cooler..:-)

Not to derail this thread, the dock at the campground was flooded one day with people cleaning there catch.

It was one of those, every one catches their limit kind of day!

The (new), manager's, left three large garbage cans over flowing with entrails, on the dock overnight.

5:30 the next morning, six bears pigging out including sow with cubs :shock:.

I could go on..

Yep, what a shiit show, soon as you went to bed, bears swarming the camp ground...

Last spring I walked down a deactivated road a couple km's where I was camping and found a nearly full container of motor oil and half of container of washer fluid.

I wasn't about to carry out some pathetic slobs junk a few km's but on my way out the next morning in the jeep I went to pick up the trash's trash.

Probably 50 holes in each of the containers. Bear hit it and licked up pretty much every drop off the ground... drug a trench doing it.

Bears eat stupid stuff and blow chunks. I've come across bear vomit... it happens. Like humans it can just be a bug, something we ate or terrible illness... who knows

Never seen a bear hurl. Funny story though I was tossing some cookies of my own on and FSR about an hour out of kamloops (norovirus I think) and my heaving sounds brought a bull moose to 30 yards... It had huge palms... way bigger than my jeep... what a sight... maybe that bear was just calling :)

Back to bears again. They get sick too. A couple years back we had a bear in our area crapping darn near albino poops... nearly white... content was just grass but all white otherwise. If human this would indicate a serious bile duct or liver problem. I suspect that bear was on deaths door and doing some vomiting as well (never found any in that case)

Could be anything from getting carried away on a salt lick to cancer to gut shot. We'll never know

As sounds like good ole Port Renfrew marina when Bud and Rex fed them daily for about 7 years, then decided to stop because there was too many bears. Then 3 days later one tries to eat a poor fisherman in his boat at the dock, go figure, i dead bear and 2 stupid people...

When bears come out of the den they are plugged up with a white lard like substance. Quite normal.

Must have raided a tree planters camp

the grizz that stole our deer out of camp a couple of years back left piles of green puke with fatty lumps in it at each of the 3 places it fed on our deer....I posted the story way back shortly after it happened and noted the curiousness of the green puke piles but no one commented that I remember.....

[walks with deer]

i spotted a bear bedded on a sandy beach near a creek mouth some years ago...
one of the guys i was with was really eager to get a bear...we stalked into less than 30 yards as i drew my bow he woke up at less than 20 yards..when he opened his eye he only had one and he made a deep roaring noise at me...my partner fired hitting his other eye..lol..dead bear..upon inspection he had claw marks head to toe and was a older boar but still probably only weighed 90lbs...
when i opened him up his organs looked really weird..in hinesight should have brought him into the bioligist...my partner took the whole bear..ughh..up in region 6 dad and i saw a blind bear once that was a odd snake shape with legs.
