Great post, tks.
And, yes, dogs are expert time keepers. We have to adjust schedules gradually in preparation for savings time clock changes. They are NOT fooled by it.
Thank you, Eska! Your story is sobering and I take your advisement seriously. After you mentioned it, I certainly noticed that the bears have their favorite times of day to start sniffing around here. Makes me wonder why the previous owners said “yes” so quickly to our low offer. Anyway, thank you for sharing that. I’ll certainly be wiser come this 3rd season.
THAT would be fun to see! Did you get any pics, by chance? Thanks for sharing. What state do you live in?
Ha ha ha! I think I misworded that. Ha! Now you’ve got me thinking! Yikes!
The dogs look just like my little girl. But mine would be running looking for a bed to hide under
.45 ACP, two,13 round, magazines for bears and gators.
He is what you do when you encounter a bear....
You just slap them around.

Man Fights Bear

We have black bears in northern NJ. My oldest brother lives in Sparta, which is in Sussex County. He’s a former Marine and keeps a number of fire arms handy. He learned early on never to leave the garage door open.
He’s lived in Sparta some thirty years. His house is on a cul-de-sac and is on about two acres of property with woods all around. First year he was living there his daughter, who was five at the time said “Daddy there’s a big dog in the garage!’’.
Bro poked his head in, grabbed his daughter, went back in the house and grabbed his .45 and blasted the bruin in the butt with one round. He said that thing flew out of the garage and off into the woods.
“I seen bear hounds ripped really bad with just short contact with a bear.”
Talked with a bear hunter once who was out running his dogs in the forest. Showed me his prized dog and told me about the time a bear got a hold of it and ripped off its jaw which was hanging by a thread of flesh. Said it cost him $4,000 at the vet to have it put back together.
“She is in FL no reason for going unarmed.”
If you look at a google satellite map of the Naples area there are many subdivisions that sprawl out towards the East into the Big Cypress area. Out of staters retire there with no clue they are moving into a wildlife refuge.
Vet bills are not cheap.
Any bear that I see around my farm more than once a year gets a dirt nap upon second sighting.
Got tired of paying the vet bills for my dogs, having to rebuild the livestock pens and the chicken coops.
Most importantly neither my wife or I can outrun a bear.
2 338 Lapua rounds placed in the correct location takes care of the problem permanently.
always double tap!
