The neighbor took this picture about 15 minutes ago and called me. I looked out and saw it running out my driveway. The bear is that black object to the right of the right tree.

That looks like a good size bear.

That looks to be a .357 size bear, .44 mag or even a 45-70. It's hard to tell from the picture.
Stay safe Sir Henry.

Sir Henry, when is that Henry Long Ranger supposed to be in?
Looks like you need it NOW! And I think a Short Ranger would be adequate.

You might need something larger than a rimfire Mare's Leg.
That critter would make a nice rug in front of the stove.

I have a Rossi Ranch Hand in 357 magnum. But I would rather shoot my Henry.

So cool! I recently saw a pic on a camper forum of a young black bear who just walked into the folks camp and sat down by the fire. In a public campground. I just so happened to have camped in this small campground twice this year in my tent cot! It was early season and few folks around!

I have had a couple trail cams. Out all spring
Waiting to get a pic. Of one trashing my bird feeders. And last week I checked on them and the battery 's were dead. So i took them down.
The next night my bird feeders were on the ground.
That's my luck.

The bear was watching you. Yogi is smarter than the average bear.

Can't keep those pesky vandals out of my dumpster. I resorted to chaining down the lid but to no avail. They simply pounced on the plastic lid and smashed it inwards!!! Garbage all over the lawn yesterday morning.
