It only weighed 80 lbs. Panicked flatlanders who live in a nearby "planned community" called the sheriff. Deputies cornered it and Game and Fish couldn't be bothered to come out and trap and relocate it so gave the bubba deputies permission to kill it. Pissed me off.
I remember a few years back quite a few bears coming down out of the four peaks area and gettting quite a long way into various east valley communities like Mesa, Apache Junction etc. Might be the same thing will happen again. Seems like we've had the hottest driest summer since I've been here. Of course that could just be in the far west valley where I am - Avondale. We have had not one single storm out our way this year.
