black bear mauled my 3d archery target

So monday morning I get a call at around 7:30... My dad asking me if I wanted the 3d archery target of a whitetail that I had in their yard. I said yes why?... Well, it's in the back yard in a bunch of pieces.... Turns out a black bear came and mauled the %$%$%$%$e out of it.... my dad got picts. just gotta figure out how to post them without going through my ftp.. You can see claw marks and teeth marks.... Pretty insane. Keep in mind this is made out of heavy duty foam... Very very tough stuff.

(fyi, they live in simsbury,northwest of hartford)

That is a pretty big jaw. Those bite marks are pretty wide.

yup, the neck on that target is pretty wide... Funny, how the bear knew right where to go for the jugular shot.....
