Big bear [message #87387]

We threw out some fried chicken earlier today into a big dumpster that sits
between our house and the property next door. A little while ago, the dogs
started going absolutely banannas. I looked outside and there was this huge
black bear digging through the dumpster......and I mean huge. One of the
biggest I've ever seen. Unfortunately, he's pretty bold and would not spook
when we yelled at him to try to scare him off. That's bad news for bears
around here. I have noticed a few of the local trashcans overturned in the
mornings. Once the neighborhood starts complaining, the animal control dept
will trap him and relocate him and if he returns, they will kill him. I'm
going to get a bear proof trashcan for the organic stuff we throw out. I'd
hate to see this guy get popped. He's magnificent, but easily a top of the
food chain predator.

We're got a guy who is living in a Winnebago on the property right now..a
friend of a friend ....(shit like this happens all the time in
Colorado....people will camp anywhere in the summer)....we just call him
DuPree. He bought a used, full sized refrigerator yesterday and has it
hooked into the power grid. It is sitting outside his Winnebago, next to a
tree. I can't wait until he goes grocery shipping and Mr. Bear gets a whiff
of the goodies inside..........and it also ought to be interesting when the
rains start and this big electrical appliance is sitting out in the mud,
becoming one with the "ground". He also has a couple of cats that he just
lets roam around outside. If they come in our back yard they will be greeted
warmly by Crash and Muffin.. If they go the other direction they are right
in the middle of "Pet Cemetery Road"...and then again, there are coyotes
around here...............and bears. I feel sorry for these kitties. I hope
they survive their vacation.

You should see the plastic top on the dumpster. Looks like he got up on top
of the damn thing and jumped up and down until he collapsed the thing. It's
bent double. Heavy bear. this was not an insubstantial lid.

I'm going to have my camera ready in case he pays DuPree's (our Winnebago
camper) refrigerator a visit tonight.

Me either. This bear is not scared of people who yell at it. I don't know if
it would run if someone was walking around making a bunch of racket and it
could see them. Usually, they run. Who knows though?

You don't want to get between a bear and food, or a bear and cubs. They
get testy and can do real damage, even a brown bear. Strong and well
armed animals...
