Ace Killed by Bear

This is what I almost ran over as I was crawling through the laural thicket. This is as I orginally found him. All bent and contorted. A big peice of him was gone.

I could see pucture marks in places. Either from a claw, or tooth.

This looked more like claw marks. It was on his rear thigh. Probably from the attack that killed him.

We managed to get Grady's tractor down to near where Ace was and pull him out so we could bury him.

After we got him out of the thicket you could better see what the bear had eaten.
