think I figured out why my dogs won't go outside and they got good reason
this guy has been stalking us almost a week he must be 300+lbs
think it's time to call D O W to have him removed he already climbed up my garage roof once,

Still wishing for a like button!
Only ever seen a bear in a zoo......
Must be a bit scary but, at the same time, very cool!

This was my pot belly Miss Piggy Sue. She was a house pet/princess for 15 years. View attachment 297622

What's cooler than a pig for a pet! A pig in shades......

Move. [emoji199][emoji50][emoji597][emoji870]

it's the price you pay living in the mountains now the Mt lions are a bit more intimidating , if I moved everytime I see a animal I'd be moving on a daily basis lol

OMGG so that was crazy, if it isn't in there it is roving around somewhere!!!!!
I grew up with Rattlesnakes and Black Widow Spiders and eathquakes no big deal. One of my early childhood memories is almost stepping on a rattlesnake as I trotted out the back door, probably a 3 year old (don't know for sure). And was instructed to always watch for them first! Mom chopped its head off with the shovel. They liked to sun themselves on the cement porch which faced West.

Here is a nice little fella found in my garden last year. Also found a huge yellow mud Turtle - someone in the fam got a pic, I will have to see who.

Great shot.....like snakes......

Uk wildlife is tame by comparison! Pretty much nothing to fear. Get too close to a dear during the rut or a cow with a calf and you're in for a bad day but it's not quite bear! But I guess you learn the animal and where to be mindful.....
Hopefully he'll move away now it's getting warmer, that's best for you both!

we get our times with the deer and elk maybe once in every ten year moose sighting
if we get lucky . we were thinking about putting 10 free range wild turkeys on the property this year and the monster bear kind of put that idea off ,
looks out window hey its snowing

Bear wouldn't get a turkey. Very rare

That is a big scary monster...


Bears are cute if they are Teddy Bears, but those things like in your pic, are why I think I should NEVER sleep in a tent in the woods.

RV only, small comfort at least with a wall, and other protection. Lived around here for over 23 years and the second year my neighbor told me about how they had a bear snorting around and around the tent and they tried not to breathe much with kids and everything. Finally it left. No tent camping for me, AND why I live where I see the mountains, not IN the mountains. Scary monster!

Snakes are fine as long as they aren't the poisonous ones. Mountain Lions okay.

I got one almost that big but yet to see him. Just the tracks. Beautiful

I know someone who was eaten by a bear. Well, knew.

For Florida this is big

We had a bunch of bear on post at fort drum in the dump. There are a few around here. That is fresh sign right there

 

[flchamp89]

Not a great photo. Was getting dark. We have some great populations of black eyed susans. They are everywhere till temps stay in 90 range for a solid week.or two. Often wild violets fill it too. Incredible to see in person. North Florida is some of the last remaining glimpes of real Florida.
