.... Well, I don't know...... But sometimes they poop on the road right behind the truck while you're napping. Got over to PA for some muzzleloader bear season last week. Nothing seen, but had allot of fun hiking around the mountains. -Jake

My answer to that question has long been “nope, they poop in the middle of the logging roads”. I see that holds true in your neck of the woods as well. 😁

You have bear poop in your house? Training, man, training!

I'm no scatologist, but did see a lot of brown bear poop out hunting this past week. One thing I noticed was they were eating a lot of high bush cranberries. Lots of whole berries came out whole on the back side. Seems like a waste of calories if they don't crush/puncture the berries. Somehow they survive. Kinda reminds me of the classic Cheech & Chong skit - Ralph & Herbie. "I like the way you use corn for texture".

I don't think so.
Always heard about "Show him where the bear shïts in the woods". Have often been hunting and found bear shït.
Not sure about this crap stuff.

Wife and I once watched a young black bear feeding on blueberries in the alpine above Skilak Lake. It fed furiously for about 10 minutes, then crapped. Like clockwork for several hours.

Last summer we were staying at some rental cabins and doing some hiking and it would seem that about every few hours Yogi would let us know he was there. We would go for a hike and come back, and there was a pile 20 feet from the door. Go do something else, come back and there would be more. Day and night. Don't know if it was one bear or multiple but he/they were eating well. I will admit to over dramatizing things to scare the hell out of a couple of tourists from out of state. A woman I spoke to was ready to go home right then, lol. Besides pooping on the lawn the only thing they were doing was getting into and knocking over trash cans that people (tourists) were tossing stuff into instead of walking another 50 feet at night and putting their trash in the bear proof dumpsters.

Last weekend there was a post on Fakebook about the cops being called to get a bear out of a car in Everett. No idea how it got in or got trapped, But there were pics of the car. Seatbacks broken, seats ripped to shreds, door panels tore up, dash clawed open. And I'd bet the bear shït in the car!
Wish I had the pics, Rene will say it never happened

I’m calling no s*%t to this thread, I can’t see the photos🤣 rockdoc; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope that your tomorrow for me is going well for you today. In the spirit of the 'Fire where the adage "pics or it never happened" and all that. This was the record up until this year for both diameter and volume. The binos are 8x42 not compacts, the diet seems to be primarily Kinnikinic berries. Then we ran into this one on a new logging road this fall. It's - as they say - impressive.. My neighbor and sometimes hunting companion was in there after a rain last week and said he cut the biggest black bear tracks he's seen in years, maybe ever. It's a pretty good boar I'd guess. The piles of bear pooh in the yard this fall I didn't take photos of because they weren't that impressive for size and frankly I'm less than enthralled with them hanging around the place. I will post a pic if I end up ventilating the pooh pile leaver, as it's definitely made my personal "s....t list" with some of the other stuff it's been up to. All the best and good hunting down there rockdoc. Dwayne

One of my dads friends owned a very nice deer camp in PENN, it was actually a high dollar camp with all of the comforts you could ask for. His wife thought it was so cute for black bears to walk on to the patio in the evening and she would photograph them. The second day the sow with cubs showed up and they all crapped all over the patio. She changed her mind after they had to use a water hose to clean up the mess. Bears were bad after that

BC30cal Good day to you sir.
Thank you, they are certainly impressive! Black or Grizzly bear around your parts, or both?
We have smaller things that may hurt you, except if in the water or up in the northern parts, but I never go into the bush here thinking something may eat me or just generally disfigure me. Unlike Africa too!
I would certainly like to see some photos of the bruins if you manage to shoot them.
Only bears I saw in the brief time I have been in BC were the two young grizzlies at Grouse Mountain. They certainly trod very quietly.
Mackay I would love to live somewhere I was free enough to be able to lay down my Baer Custom 1911A1 for scale!

rockdoc; Good morning to you sir, I hope that tomorrow for us is treating you well at present! Thanks for the reply, it's cool you got to see some grizzlies while you were here. We're about 4½ hours drive east of the coast, so while there are for sure some grizzly bear sightings every year, they're not common by any means. One valley over they're getting to be more and more because two valleys over they started a bit of a grizzly bear area years back - before shutting down all the grizzly hunting here. Where comerade and greydog live they're reasonably common and for that matter up a few hours north of me where 673 lives they're seen more than down here. I'm with you on being someplace free enough to lay down a handy Glock for scale in a photo - the reason I'm using either a knife or binos for scale in my photos. Ah well, we're working on changing it here rockdoc, but as I'm known to say - we'll see. All the best and good hunting - if it's hunting season there which it may well not be... Dwayne
