Bears still active

Just this morning, two ACA homes were raided by a bear (or bears, but guessing it's just one).  Of course, we know they're around, and while we'd like to think they are moving on, they clearly have learned where and how to get some grub, and probably won't do what we 'think' they will, not at this time.

Bear  at the Rose house this AM

The Rose's take their feeders in at night, and put them out in the morning...alas, this morning, the bear Al Rose got a picture of visited around 9am and had a little feast.  But later today, I got an email from Dick Fields that they, too, had their feeders ransacked this morning, though the perpetrator was not actually seen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, bears come through here from time to time and we all know the routine.  Just wanted to put this information out there that you may want to be watchful yet, maybe take your feeders in or do what you can to minimize attracting our furry four legged ursines.

As I told Dick Fields, if it'll make you feel better, I'm happy to loan you one of my 3 pups for guard dog duty...the only problem is they may well take liberties chewing up something near and dear to you!  :-)

Happy Fall, y'all!  Officially came in this morning just before 11am EDT.  Feel the excitement....
