Last night our next door neighbor phoned and said there was a dead bear in our driveway. We grabbed a flashlight and ran out, and there was a dead bear in our driveway. Our neighbor was also there; she said a guy had stopped at her house and said he hit a deer. His truck was damaged, but he thought he could drive to his home about a mile away. She came out to see if the deer was still there and found the bear.
Linda thought it weighed between 400 and 500 pounds. It certainly looked big. It had no evident wounds. Our neighbor said she had already called the Game Commission, and they were sending someone out to pick it up. This morning it was gone.
We like bears. We don’t even care that our suet feeder and seed feeders are occasionally damaged by bears. They aren’t dangerous, and they are magnificent animals. It was a sad occasion.
Did RFKjr dump it there? (Sorry, that was too good to pass up.)
ReplyDeleteActually, our problem here is live bears. Actually our problem is stupid humans who don't know to secure their trash. They don't understand that Split Rock borders Hickory Run State Park where there are lots of bears. They visit on trash day for the free food. Eventually, someone will get hurt and the game commission will shoot the bear. 😢
ReplyDeleteThat’s sad. How do I make it so my posts don’t show up as anonymous? I’m new here. 🙂
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. My techie friends René and Debbie set this up for me. I don't even have a smart phone. Maybe some other reader can provide an answer.
