I saw a coyote tonight while taking Marty..

You have to respect the animal.....no doubt. Making noise is the way the area Forrest rangers suggest you deal with Black bears.

Grizzlies are different. I would shit my pants if a griz was stealing beer off my deck. None in the area though. Biggest concerns in the area are cougars and rattlesnakes. Those aren't cute. :lol:

I'd bring a mouse if I'm around elephants next time. :lol:

Actually Bubba thinks he is a dog....he kinda barks and he plays with other dogs. So I should probably call him a dog since he has chosen to live a dog lifestyle. I know there has been a big debate on whether he should shit in the woods or not

Most of the attacks are made by male bears looking for food! The web site I posted said most people think the mother bear with a cub attack people. At least we have no bears in my city! At least not yet!!

I wouldn't hesitate to assume that people got too close or somehow aggravated them. Black bears are not known to attack and eat people. Primarily, they eat mostly fruits and nuts, a small portion of their meat may be fish, small animals, etc.

Reminds me of that joke:

What are a typical redneck's last words?

"hey y'all, watch this!!"

You do get the occasional idiot who manages to get killed by a wild animal at the zoo. I wouldn't want to face those same wild animals without benefit of moat and/or fence.
