This was taken a few years back and is why I now hang my bird feeders on a cable strung between two trees and 8' off the ground.The shadow you see in front of him is the chimney!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha...I loved Jeremiah Johnson! It got a bit hokey in some parts, but it still is a good Saturday late night flick.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
Too darn close for my comfort. I'll take my chances with the centipedes out in St. Davids thank you lol.
.........come a knocking on your door?Great animal. (don't let millen anywhere near it)
Certainly different to the sleepy bears we have around here. (no, I don’t have any pics of them)

this was a young 'un on the search for a territory of his own. They travel 25 or more miles a day in this quest. The Encon guy told me there were only two recorded cases of a Black Bear attacking a human - one had picked up her cub and the second had tried to take stolen food back from a cub. Dumb.

In fact they're quite dangerous to fool with. A lot more unpredictable and meddlesome than brownies. Don't know where you get this info, but it is misleading. There have been near a dozen people killed in North America by blackies since 2000, and many more attacks than that.
pathologist at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and (ooops) referred to NYS only. Of course, if people fuck with them they're going to be dangerous. The operative word in your post is "fool". Don't "fool with 'em and you'll be OK.That said - they can peel a car open like a can opener if you leave food inside.

I understand that they find cheese an attraction that they will be more than normally "interested in"... I seem to recall seeing on TV the spectacle of an SUV that had one side of the vehicle completely destroyed in a bear's eager attempts to access a cheese sandwich(!) apparently dropped on the car floor by a young child whose parents had been walking in the area whilst the bear was demolishing their vehicle, enjoying the sights with their kids...I wonder whether such damage was covered on their insurance, and if so, how such damage was categorised...
Bill.
......I don’t think we have any killer Koalas in Oz but there are plenty of other things that will give you a hurry up. (Timbo & wasps comes to mind)I think bears are magnificent creatures. Unlike some here, I could never hunt one.

Was grinning at my window, all I said was come on in.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. please, don't murder me."
