Apologies to anyone on Depot or Union who just heard that...

[Angus Durocher]

That was me screaming at the black bear four feet away from me on the
steps of my porch.

I am very sorry for my choice of language and hope there were not
children within earshot.

I hope you hurt its feelings....

Sorry but this was a good morning laugh for me.  I know the frustration sometimes that animals can give us.  Once I chased turkeys out of our yard with a metal bucket banging on it. Ahem it seemed to work as they never came back.  :)

Hello, I may have to report you to the PETA folks, verbal abuse is cruelty to animals.

Thank you,

I called Fish & Game- since said bear hasn' t broken into anybody's house, they will leave him to lead his life as he pleases.   He/she has been around for a while.   Took a nap down by the river a couple of years ago.

This bear might have possibly been the one who visited my home last week around 1:30 pm. I caught him/her on my camera.

Hello Neighbors,

Years ago, when we had an issue with bears getting into our hives that were surrounded by electric fencing (it turns out Winnie the Pooh‘s friends can lean on the electric fence without getting terribly zapped and push hives over to ground the fence out), fishing game, suggested that we also invest in one of these:

They also canceled us that you can hang foil with peanut butter on it on an electric fence to train critters who licked the foil and then get shocked. I’m quite sure getting your tongue shocked is terrible, but an electric fence probably isn’t terribly practical for most home applications like a porch. Angus’s porch is particularly lovely.

I have been seeing a lot of photos and posts from folks downtown of the downtown bear. I hope everyone will help try to deter them from dumpster diving. None of us want to incident that mirrors what happened to Mink in Hanover. 

May luck be on your side. 

My best,

Kate Plumley Stewart
