How much did that cost?? .as wildlife technicians arrived, the animal went up a tree in Raymond's back yard and the technicians, assisted by nearly a dozen police officers and Department of Public Works employees began setting up the catch net.

Whoa momma...big boy..No ear tags either...

 

[betterfisher]

safety of everyone has no cost I know. But think of the dollars paid to all those people for one bear.

One of the pics shows that they ripped one of his claws right out while getting him off the tree.

Wow, that's def a big bear!! But we don't have a problem.....

If that bear just fell out of the tree, everyone holding on to the net would have been catapulted into the tree trunk.[rofl] Now that would have been a funny picture for the cop to take.
A little adverse training and he'll never come back.[rofl][rofl]

That is a big boy. It took an hour for the tranquilizer to set in!

 

[Northernhunter]

Lots more where that one came from!

I seen one come down out of a tree with 8 guys holding the net and it didnt work to well and it was smaller then the one in the pic.All I can say is it hit hard.[down]

 

[Malsua]

So...bear "falls asleep" falls in net...what if he wakes up after he hits? Heh. It'll look like a Chinese firedrill.

Angry drugged up bear on the loose!

 

[WeirdBeard]

Can't be. There are no bears in New Jersey.
