I'm skeptical.  The picture kind of reminds me of that big mtn. lion that made the rounds on the forums a few months ago.  Some said it was hit by car out near Grantsville.  Turned out to be a hoax???   :confused:   :innocentwhistle:

could be a hoax i guess but i looked for whether it might be a hoax before i posted it and i couldnt find anything to point to a hoax but i might not have searched enough.

Hey Jim,

That's up around your neck of the woods isn't it. How far are you from Eau Claire?

  There was one a couple years ago where the bear was trapped underneath when the combine caved in the den.  Probably something similar happened here.
