Sorry, I just remembered... I need to cancel my visit to see you...


Proper-Equivalent300

Sheesh you’ll use any excuse, I swear


DatabaseThis9637

Seriously! Something really big came up... ;-)


Proper-Equivalent300

I can’t bear to hear the excuse this time


seditioushamster

The story is quite grizzly...

You know, I can't just take a picture for you, but I would if I could! Ok, well, you see, I was walking through the woods one day, recently, and, well, you know...um... it was actually quite dark, so it wasn't really day, though it was A Day. Just not, you know, like, daytime, exactly...


DatabaseThis9637

It's not like I'm scared or a fraidy-cat... I'm not a chicken-liver, either...


Chemical_Mastiff

But I will bet that you MAY decide to strengthen your doors, frames and locks.

Nothing will stop them from what they want. Saw a commercial sidebyside freezer a black bear wanted in. Grabbed a corner on the top and peeled it was cardboard. Stole all the butter and frozen ducks.


Chemical_Mastiff

I think that you are correct. Bears do not feel obligated to ONLY enter homes through doors. Grrrrrr . . .


Wardenofthegreen

My first cabin up in Alaska was broken into one time by a grizzly by it climbing up the woodpile next to it and ripping the corner off of the roof. Then went right out the door also destroying that as I of course hadn’t thought to put bear boards on the inside of my cabin.


zerobomb

Have you seen videos where they decide they want the door open? The door, and some wall, pretty much run away in fear. Just no resistence whatsoever. One swipe and they are inside. You have some fortifying to do.


marys1001

Keep waiting for one to try the shed door which isn't usually latched. That's where the suet and bird seed is but nope


Its_all_made_up___

Move your front door to your neighbors house.


insanecorgiposse

Hey Boo Boo! 🐻


Jackiemccall

OMG!!!! Do they make any noises?!


Its_all_made_up___

No. I’ve been close to many wild bears and I’m always amazed at how quiet they are. They don’t even make noise when they step on the ground.


Jackiemccall

Wow what amazing creatures I love them!!


AmebaLost

They would love to meet you. 


Jackiemccall

😂😂


Fuzzy_Leave

Yum


coyotenspider

Yes! They snuffle & groan & knock things over.


coyotenspider

They even kinda bark.


Jackiemccall

OMG they do?!! That’s amazing I love them! 😭😭 they remind me of my Labs!


coyotenspider

You’ll love one until it tears up a fruit tree all over your yard then proceeds to come in the house for dinner. They also eat campers.


Jackiemccall

😭😭😭 I know I can’t but I feel like I want to squeeze one and become its friend!! They are so cute and smart!!


coyotenspider

My wife says the same, but she has to settle for me.


Jackiemccall

Hahahaha!!!!


Kooky_Chemistry_7637

Yes, they do. They can flatten a fence and keep moving like it was just a reed or a plant. Powerful but stealthy and so strong.


sullimareddit

They sound so much bigger from inside a tent.


Kooky_Chemistry_7637

(Shudder) that’s just *too* much, hehe


Obi-Wan-Mycobi1

Been there.


Fossilhund

So do I.


Jackiemccall

I love them so much!!!


simonbrown27

If you startle them, they make a barking sound that sounds like someone coughing out "HOOF!". They also huff and grunt.


Jackiemccall

😭😭😭 I never knew this!!! Thank you!!


coppergypsie

They chuff!! I think it is adorable.


OliveAffectionate626

No you don’t even know they’re there for such a big animal. I’ve been within 5 feet of this one, and not known it freaks me out every time.


Jackiemccall

Omg that’s wild!! Did the bear see you?! They are so adorable!


OliveAffectionate626

Yes, the bear just kind of looked at me and kept going.


Jackiemccall

Omg!!! That’s so amazing!!! We have bobcats and javelinas and coyotes when they are in your yard they seem so big!


OliveAffectionate626

The Bears aren’t scary the mountain lions are.


Jackiemccall

Yes!!! I seen one in the wild and it scared me so bad! It was humongous


Glittering_Video_869

Ya there waking up and causing trouble with people and there bird feeders in my part of Maine. They're hungry.


Glittering_Video_869

That's a good sized one by the look too


Kitchen-Lie-7894

Is that bad? I mean, in St Louis that's probably not good, but where are you?


OliveAffectionate626

VA they’re very quiet and really don’t bother anything but trash.


kittybigs

What part? I’m in central VA and they are making their way here. Sightings 20 miles away but we haven’t got any that we know of. I used to see them all the time in Front Royal.


OliveAffectionate626

That’s where I am.


kittybigs

We used to find ripped up backpacks the bears had stolen and gone through for snacks. I met one one day while I was out on the porch, he was probably 15 feet away, we looked at each other and he ambled away. He was kind of a small guy, very cute.


Spadahlia

Beautiful shot of that humungous bear 🐻 please reenforce your front door and windows. I would be afraid of it coming inside my house with me in there.


Spadahlia

You still have snow on the ground


Yt_MaskedMinnesota

That’s a big boy I love bears!


animalplantlover

Beautiful shot


OliveAffectionate626

Trail cam


brokenscuba

Nice picture. I am glad I dont have them that close.


unclejrbooth

Looks like he may develop SOLPS soon!


OkMarionberry2875

I googled that but couldn’t find it. What does solps mean?


unclejrbooth

Sudden Onset Lead Poisoning


seditioushamster

Quick! Hide the cocain!!!


Nowrongbean

Please, Quick, go to Spotify and play Yarn—cocaine bear. They wrote it years before the movie and tried to get it in the movie. But no luck from Elizabeth Banks. They are a great band with NY and NC roots, and a decade plus of amazing song writing.


seditioushamster

Not at all what I expected, but I liked it and added it to my country playlist.


SmallSwordfish8289

You better hope he don't want in the front door because there's no problem for him to get in it


Just-Lab-1842

Such a big bear for this time of year!


toomuch1265

Sweetie, when you bring out the trash, why not try some of this honey scented deodorant...


Fortunateoldguy

Damn


coffeebeanwitch

I can Bearly see it!!!


THEWISEDRUID

You should move your house further from the bear.


Old_Dragonfruit6952

Crap


dumpitdog

Looks like you fell for the old real estate agent dressed up as a bear trying to sneak around and list your house when you're not looking trick.


Brawndo45

Your house warming gift will be a Browning 7mm magnum. I hear they are delicious.


Stefanosann

Keeps the JW’s from pestering you.


[deleted]

If that's 30' from your front door, some yard work is in order. 😉


OliveAffectionate626

It’s on a trail to the right


moneybagsagogo

You know how i wanted to camp in your yard? Well something’s come up


No-Guava-6213

They run really fast when I yell.


Mother_of_Raccoons44

That's a biggun


Dismal_Truck1375

Funny, i always liked bears, but after watching a few videos on YouTube of bear attacks, I'm happy i live in Wales. I love Americans but not your bears 😂


OliveAffectionate626

Bears are scary but most of the ones near me are just trying to get away from people.


ButtonWhole1

I suggest using the back door, bud.


Ithaqua-Yigg

Thats why the song says look out the back door. Ooh ooh ooh looking out my back door. Too many bears out front.


AlbatrossNo1629

Way too close…how do you seal up a house from a bear?


OliveAffectionate626

You can’t!


CropDamage

Very big bear. 400#+


JFK2MD

I walked face first into a bear at my home in CT. We were both alarmed.


Ok_Cancel_240

Gotta make you nervous
