Visiting bear?
Visiting bear?
After being gone for a week yesterday I found this pile of what I think is bear poop. It’s full of insects that look like termites (I think) so probably not coyote. And coyote poop usually had hair in it from the rodents they eat. The only reason I’m not totally convinced is the poop is on the smaller size of bear poop I usually see. Anyway, first sign of bear I have seen in this community. No tracks as we had a small shower which would erase any that might have been in the dirt. I checked the guest bedroom for Goldilocks but she wasn’t around.

Did they smell of bear spray and have tiny bells in them?

Re: Visiting bear?
I just found bear poop behind our building. Makes sense there are tons of blackberry bushes around us Mr. Smith accompanies our evening dog walks just in case.

You guys are killing me!
I forgot to mention that I found this pile of doo-doo about 100 yards from my house. One of these days I might be posting a picture of a tree with the following carved into it with a knife.

This bear was hit on the road this morning. I see deer killed everyday but this was the first bear.

Gene, looks like a young one.
Have a buddy who lives around Green Bay and has a cabin north of there up on the flowage somewhere. They have a Big one roaming around the cabins. Steve's guess at least 600 lbs.
