We have lots of photos of our bears. They saunter up the driveway, walk through the yard ... any time of day, it seems. If you closely at the photos you can see the black steel (I think) bar that is twisted back and down toward the porch floor. It used to stick straight out from the front of the porch and hold a bird feeder ... but a larger bear (we didn't see it happen) bent the thing ... my husband who is fairly big & strong, can't get the bar to move!!! Just don't go walking around Suissevale without a noisemaker of some type... wouldn't want to meet up around the corner with a big black bear!
We had a bear on our deck a few years back and we had one of thos solid metal poles with a bird feeder on it. He completely bent the pole. I couldn't bend it over my knee. Last labor day he walked out of a neighbors yard 15 feet in front of me and a neighbor and crosed the street. Just walked across and just kept looking back at us. He was in no rush and definately wasn't afraid. I wasn't too afraid either because I knew I could run faster than my neighbor. He was in the neighborhood alot last year and we got some good photos and a video of him. I'd say he was 400 lbs
