Chuck and Karen Hayes share this photo, showing the tracks they found on their deck in this morning's heavy frost. That big bear was really close to their glass doors, wasn't he?
John and I are wondering if this may have been the same big guy that we saw in front of our house at 5:30 yesterday morning. I wasn't awake enough to grab my camera, and it was probably still dark enough that a picture wouldn't have been too great, anyway.
But, John and I think he was the biggest bear we have ever seen, and he appeared very comfortable hanging out in our front yard. At one point he stretched up to scratch his back and his head on the trunk of a birch tree. Later, John took a tape measure out to determine that his head had been 8 feet off the ground.
Recent comments made on Facebook, responding to Jason Bricco's photo of their bear visitor last week, indicate that others in our area have been spotting bears too. Huh! Keep your eyes open, and let us know of any further bear encounters you have.
Big honking paws, he probably didn’t stick around because he heard Chuck snoring.🇺🇸🇺🇸
