At least from 1949, no bears had been seen in the 500 acres of woods near me. Last summer, I got a neighbor’s call saying, “You’ve got two bears in your back yard!”
Their two dogs barked, and both bears instantly jumped up huge pine trees. Wouldn’t think they could move so fast...
Collier County is deep SW Florida, BTW.
THAT would be fun to see! Did you get any pics, by chance? Thanks for sharing. What state do you live in?
