Update on the Bear

The Department of Natural Resources reviewed our photo of the bear and gave this response:


Yes, that is a rather large bear.  I have camped in many areas where bears are habituated to humans and never had a problem.  Be aware that a bear of that size has been a nuisance in your area for much of the summer and this may be the same bear.  If people camp on your property, make sure absolutely no food, including snacks, are kept in the tent.  I would also recommend making sure all trash, bird feeders, pet foods, and BBQ grills are kept inside.  With hunting seasons now being open, this bear should start to make itself scarce.
