A W. Tx. lion trapper I know caught a bear out by Alpine 3yrs. ago. Although a black bear, he called it Cinnamon. He has been trapping out there for years. He said he really didn't know what he was supposed to do because everybody knows there ain't any bears out there. He didn't want to get cross-ways with the Game Warden. He's by himself as usual. He has plenty rope in the truck and gets the bear all splayed out and tied off, so he can get the trap off and lets it go. He says he doesn't want to do that again. The GW said he should have called and he would have helped. Phone service is iffy to none. I still don't know what the law is on trapping bear in W.Tx.
