any idea where he was released?  anywhere near Salt Springs?  I ask because I went to a favorite now illegal riding spot and saw bear tracks there that I had to get off the quad and check out.

I put my hand inside the foot pad of the track and it measured 7 fingers across,,,,,freakin monster tracks.

The bear was released about 1.23 miles to the NNE of numbered road 12.He was a rescued bear so he isnt aggressive as far as we know.He does have a ear tag so he can be kept track of.The tag # is 55xy7 if you do see the bear please dont approach it.I have had a confirmed sighting of the bear , He was running down the power lines with sasquatch and they both had their arms full of marijuana plants.Please call the local FWC if you do confirm a sighting of this bear.Thank You

Hey Id@
You know where # 12 road is.......
Turn at the tree on the corner and the big curve.  Go 2 miles then make a u turn. Turn rt at the first road.  :D :D :D

I have never heard of # 12 either.  Not saying that it is not there.  Maybe it is on the North side of 40.  ONF is soooooooo big.

Merry Christmas to all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
