Brown Bear Feeding Zone?

[☠djb204☠]

The coyotes feeding zones have rabbit carcasses laying around, so I have to ask... Does anyone else think the carnivorous brown bear could have something similar? Maybe a moose carcass?

I think this would be a nice touch, and it would definitely highlight how dangerous this bear is. Coming across a carcass like that would sure out me in alert lol

Well, technically they are omnivorous and get most of their diet from things other than meat. But it would be interesting to see bear kills.

I need to make corn feeding zone for bears,for bow shooting from tree stand

although im no biologist, i dont belive a brown bear would attack a moose ^^

i dont know if they even hunt activ on land - fishing is granted, but also, only if its easy and they dont have to put too much effords in (or are very hungry).

brown bears may be quite impressive in real, but just think of the size of a moose, and why they are called tanks.

having a car crash with one can be extremly serious/dangerous ^^ seen roofs cut in 2 halfs with those antlers alone. car was a Saab 900 from the early 80s, quite solid one.

Indicators for Bear feeding zones now feature meat and bones.

saw in the news recently of a moose getting the best of a grizzly bear

Yes, sometimes the moose wins. However, brown bears (and grizzlies) can and do hunt, kill, and eat moose. Like many predators, they tend to go for the young, the old, or the sickly; however, they will occasionally (and at great risk) go after healthy adults. There is plenty of evidence online, if you go looking. The grizzlies here in America (speaking specifically of Yellowstone National Park) can even take down a healthy adult bison if they're feeling particularly lucky.

not saying it cant happen.

its just so that bears are more oportunitists and eat what is easy to obtain ^^ hunting like felines or canines is not efficient for them, wastes too much energy and, especialy in case of a moose, is quite dangerous even for those huge animals.

and if they hunt them, its more a cultur thing, tought by olderones - so the can hunt, but not all do everywhere.

also reminder ^^ our nature is already very damaged, even those areas we call huge reserves are actualy just a rest of the natural habitats of animals (and ours too).

some wiki c&p (incomplete ;):

Food that is both abundant and easily accessed or caught is preferred

Despite their reputation, most brown bears are not highly carnivorous, as they derive up to 90% of their dietary food energy from vegetable matter.

They will also commonly consume animal matter, which in summer and autumn may regularly be in the form of insects, larvae and grubs, including beehives.

Bears in Yellowstone eat an enormous number of moths during the summer, sometimes as many as 40,000 Army cutworm moths in a single day, and may derive up to half of their annual food energy from these insects.

Brown bears living near coastal regions will regularly eat crabs and clams.

In Alaska, bears along the beaches of estuaries regularly dig through the sand for clams. This species may eat birds and their eggs, including almost entirely ground- or rock-nesting species.

The diet may be supplemented by rodents or similar smallish mammals, including marmots, ground squirrels, mice, rats, lemmings and voles.
With particular regularity, bears in Denali National Park will wait at burrows of Arctic ground squirrels hoping to pick off a few of the 1 kg (2.2 lb) rodents.

In the Kamchatka peninsula and several parts of coastal Alaska, brown bears feed mostly on spawning salmon, whose nutrition and abundance explain the enormous size of the bears in these areas.
The fishing techniques of bears are well-documented.

Beyond the regular predation of salmon, most brown bears are not particularly active predators.
While perhaps a majority of bears of the species will charge at large prey at one point in their lives and most eat carrion, many predation attempts start with the bear clumsily and half-heartedly pursuing the prey and end with the prey escaping alive

now, back to OP.... i dont think we/you should have a moose carcass at a brown bear feeding zone ^^
its actualy very wrong that they have one specific zone ^^ yes, exeptions and proof...nvm
