pookrat Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 How can someone with a medical background confuse Bear Paws with human hands? I would think that would be pretty obvious even if it was just bones, much less decomposed flesh and hair. Strange indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Now if these were Bear CLAWS (from Shipley's) instead of bear PAWS, I'm certain there would have ZERO confusion amongst the law enforcement authorities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I thought this thread would be exciting. I thought a real bear was walking around the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22Blessings Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 It's probably from a hunt. Someone just discarded the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Agreed. Taxidermy gone bad or it could've been somebody's pet. I recall hearing some crazy statistic about how many Tigers there are in Harris County which was shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekDweller Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Most new developments in rural/suburban areas have animal control problems at some point. There was originally a pig farm adjacent to Olde Oaks/Oak Creek and people occasionally found pigs in their back yard and such. Grogan's Point in The Woodlands had a fairly serious feral hog problem a few years ago. Bridgeland will have its own problems but I doubt bears will factor into the equation. Agreed. Taxidermy gone bad or it could've been somebody's pet. I recall hearing some crazy statistic about how many Tigers there are in Harris County which was shocking.Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

mrfootball Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I think they've found their new Elementary School mascot. The Bridgeland "Bears". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
