We Are Never Alone
I slipped out the back door last night with my little 22 rifle to go e-mano e-possumo with a cat food thief.
Just as I was about to "speak" to the possum I got one of those feelings that I was not alone.
So I glanced behind me and there, under the Oak trees off the front yard was Mr. Black, munching on acorns.
As I watched, a deer appeared in the background, milled around a bit then skedaddled.
I wonder if he smelled me or the bear?

That’s pretty cool!
How close were you to the bear?

Possums have to eat to! It’s our county animal, should be state animal.
Possum, bear, deer and no telling what else, beautiful it is.

30-40 yards. She has been hanging around for some time. I've got her on several game cameras. She has been well behaved...so far, even ignoring the bird feeder. Previous bears have been garbage thieves, scattering trash well up into the woods so I built a trash dock and electrified it
We have fruit trees and berries galore which seems to bring them in.Most folks are scared of bears because they don't understand them.I'm assuming this is a sow w/o cubs because she has been hanging around for so long. I'm just amazed she didn't run when I was walking around the yard.

nice back yard pet . I guess good for you allow them to live and let live, except the possums LOL
I just hauled off two opossum's different nights , but still have our three skunk buddies hanging around .
not sure if my wife would be Ok with bears hanging around . and my live traps are a bit small for such pest ....then again as you say if you don't know much about them or understand them ( I just understand they can put a hurt or worse on me ) so far far away from me is best0
