Just like there were no bears until about two years ago when they SUDDENLY
decided that a couple had moved in from Arkansas...which is the REAL reason a certain lady we know is moving to Arkansas...she thinks that all their bears have moved here!

when I first heard about a 600lb dead bear so close to us.. I thought someone was over guess-a-mating.. but it was the conservation folks who said it weighed that (they took the body to study it.. it was not tagged).. we see bears pretty often.. back in 2007 we had a bear hanging around one fall.. it ripped the doors off the neighbor's barn.. going after dogfood.. we took pics of foot prints and poo.. Conservation guys guessed ours at 425lbs to 450lbs.. it finally just left.. I saw a HUGE bear drinking from a creek a couple years ago.. (very near where the one pictures was hit).. proabably the same one.. I've seen cougars on 4 occasions since we moved here.. We hear a female calling in heat every year.. she stops after one or two heats.. so someone must be answering her LOL.. the friend who lost all her sheep & goats showed me the trail cam photo of the dog flinging the cougar around.. not the best pic.. but you can see it's a young cat.. spots still fading out.. long.. long tail... she also has tons of pictures of the wounds on the dead and dying animals.. holes you could stick you thumb into.. long claw marks on the flanks.. so sad..
