Black Bear sightings in Leakey area confirmed by Game Warden
posted in The Leakey Star

A black bear was sighted near Leakey on July 5. The bear was seen and video-taped at a deer feeder on the Hardy Lewis Ranch north of Leakey by hunter, Mary Bone. On Tuesday, just a few days later, a black bear was seen crossing Fm.Rd.1120 about half-way between Leakey and Rio Frio close to Kitty Harrison’s residence. Jackie Middleton of Rio Frio said the bear ran in front of her vehicle, crossed the road and headed to the river.

There was another report on Tuesday of a sighting in the River Tree subdivision. The bear was heading north. Shane Hohman, Game Warden, verified the sightings and is confident it is the same bear “trying to get away from people.”

Hardy Lewis was surprised to learn the bear had traveled so far and confirmed this bear was seen at his ranch. He and Hohman advise everyone to leave the bear alone, and do not try to get close. Bears are protected, but if it seems to be aggressive or harming livestock call the Game Warden for assistance.  If you have any questions or want more information, call Shane Hohman at 830- 486-6372.

Hohman said it is not unusual for a bear to cover a large territory. Lewis did some research and warns everyone that bears are considered endangered species. “Don’t go hunting this bear,” he said. “If you shoot it, you had better be able to prove that you were in danger."

If you've ever hunted in that part of the country, you would definitely believe it if someone told you they saw something unusual. That's where I saw a Jaguarundi and they're not supposed to be there either. Also, what's not outside public information around Leakey is there are also free ranging Elk there. I was told years ago when we were looking at property to buy there that TPWD had released a herd back in the late 50's. I asked because I swore I heard a bugling bull one evening. I love that rugged country for this reason. It's still WILD country. You never know for sure what's out there.

A Family that Hunts together, stays together. (unless they leave me home!)

I just saw a Black Bear and cub in Whitney TX today- It was crossing the street and I did a u turn pull up and dropped my phone I was so in shock-of course I could not get the video set up in time- they just vanished- I walked looking around for them knowing no one is going to believe me but no where to be found- Hill Country maybe but what are they doing in Hill County?
