I was out today and came across a blond black bear with a wire around it's neck dead 40 feet up a tree. Was it trapped? If so, how and why 40' in a tree? it looked like it was snared around neck with the wire going to a small piece of wood then wrapped 10 or so times around the small piece of wood then to tree. The bear left claw marks climbing the tree. then it was hanging way up there. Just wondering if anyone ever head or seen such a thing? Maybe it go caught up in wire and climbed tree?
