Lmao, 10 sec. fuse, bob hall is closed going to be torn down and rebuilt, too much damage from the last hurricane that went south of here.

Yepper.

Got two sets of relatives living within commuting distance of NYC, both households gotta use bear-proof trash cans and take in the bird feeders at night else there’ll be problems. Been that way for about a decade now.

You got great dogs.

When I was a kid, we heard a commotion at the back door. Got out there and the pooch had the new Bordens milkman ( I know, my age is showing) cornered and was pitching a fit. Dog had never done this to anyone, before. This was in the days when the milkman would come in and put the milk into your refrigerator instead of leaving it on the stoop. Next week, another new milkman showed up and told us the previous guy had been fired because he just got out of prison. Our mutt was a good judge of character.

i got rid of bear and racoon trouble at my bird feeder post i wired it up with fencer wire and have a fencer turn on tell it snows animals don`t like to get a jolt of electricity. any other trouble in the yard the Hornet takes care of that too . SSS

kamo gari;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope that other than some ursine issues that your life is going more or less according to plan.

It's a bit of a timely tale you're telling as we had a little honey colored bear in the yard last night. He shuffled off when I went out onto the deck to get a better look at him, confirming that he was not the cinnamon bear in the yard last fall who not only was chasing my mulie heifers around but most likely was responsible for the ersatz night shift pruning on our fruit trees.

Let's just say we have different goals when it comes to pruning Leighton and we'll leave it at that.

Anyways, I texted the closest neighbors to let them know this little fellow was still about. They all have chickens - we're one of the few that don't - and well, everyone likes chicken, right?

We've got sort of an ascending degree of force here for bears in that we've got a wrist rocket and steel ball bearings kept at the doors, along with pressurized hot sauce too and then of course there's legally stored other options which could be accessed if the situation called for it.

I'll bet that your bear might make a mess of a garden too perhaps?

We've got 80" high deer proof fence for our garden, but bears can climb fences, this too I know for sure.

Thanks for the bear story my friend, good luck with it and all the best.

Noticed my Blk Lab rubbing his back on the ground yesterday evening, figured it would be a rotting bird or mouse.....nope, big ol pile of bear scat. Plenty of fresh bird food/seed sprinkled on it from neighbors feeders.

You got great dogs.

My bird feeder got taken out about a month ago.
