I have had several bear encounters in my yard. One so close I almost wet my boxers...Not something I would like to reenact. But I believe it is always the same bear that comes by for a visit. Once in the Spring with a pair of cubs and once or twice each Fall by herself. Every once in a while we stand on our deck in October/November and you can hear grunting in the woods and it sounds like the thing is tearing down a tree or rolling rocks around or something. I just bought a big 2 million candlepower spot light so I can see it this time around.
I'll do my best to get better photos.
