Think we again have a bear in the 'hood. Two nights ago while walking the dog at midnight after work had yet to clear far property line when we heard a horrible noise. We have those big roll cart, push cart garbage bins that hold 6 bags or so of garbage,around here. Raccoons and such need not apply. Well, the noise sounded like someone or three had picked up a garbage tote s and thrown it against the side of house or garage and then stomped a few times too. In the quiet of a summer eve, was kinda shocking and dog and me whirled to face noise. Sounded like the house beyond mine, across the ravine and thru the woods. Am, what the bleep is he doing ? before I could walk back to sure it wasn't my garbage, he rolls down the road and turns into his driveway, not him. So I hit the tacticool light and am looking around either side of my garage, from the road and hear something cross thru my back woods along the river, plowing brush. Dog walking is fun again ! We call that a ( punk in a fur coat ) . Where I used to live it was always a brown fur coat . Where I live now it could be a brown or a black fur coat ;-)

I just got back from Glacier National Park last night. Saw a bunch of bear while there, both black and grizzlies. Went to many glacier Saturday and there was a Grizzly encounter the previous day there to where Park Rangers were shutting down camping to hard side campers only. The news report said that bear spray was ineffective and attempts by numerous people to scare it off were unsuccessful. Eventually, the Grizzly lumbered off after taking the campers food and fresh caught fish

It was on the radio that i heard the report. Maybe if you can catch AM 1610, IIRC, to see if there is anything on there. That is the channel listed on the Glacier signs.

Scaring a bear off only works a few times. After that they tend to ignore the scare tactics or have a very aggressive response to them.

...and then there are the 100's of bear hunters that spend days and days in the woods and can't find a bear! Even sitting on bait!

Thanks for the link CMilliard. Bears are like people. Have good moods and bad, some like a 300lb biker on pcp. Often figure the sometimes ninja-like black bears are scarier, they just appear, closer than you can believe without warning it seems. Awareness is always the first defense.

Ya, there are bears in the woods but this whole bear thing has turned into an overblown distortion like so many other things these days.
