Tonight I had contact with the bears again, in fact there were four bears. I saw three clearly and heard one in the woods before I stepped out and they headed towards the wood line.
Last week, Sunday night from we came home from Bible Study and saw a Bear munching on our trash in the driveway. Friday night another bear made its way to my porch, and I noticed the dog got all weird and the next thing I heard was a bear moan. Well at the time I didn't know it was a bear, I went to the back door, it must have heard me too, and it headed back up the hill.
Don't get me wrong here, the dog always stays with the kids at the bus stop, I am not to worried. It is concerning, why this year they have come closer than ever before. I suspect the drought and perhaps their food supply is very low as they search for food trying to fatten up for the winter.
Putting out the game camera to try to get some photo's and see how many more are around. My concern is the largest female, because we know what female bears will do to protect her cubs...
Yikes that's too close for comfort! We've had cougar sitings in my small town, 3 on my street alone! Luckily the rabbits, chickens and cat are all fine. I worry about my daughter walking to the the bus too but thankfully she has a larger friend to guard her. Take care!
