I got a couple of stories about bears..I just happen to live in an area that bears frequent or travel through.Sometimes in the spring they will help themselves to some dog food.One night my dogs get to barking and me and the kids go to have a look see.Well my dogs aren't bear dogs,,just dogs,,they jumping all around and I am shining my flashlight.My daughter says dad we better go home its starting to rain.I shine my light up in the tree and there is a small black bear in it..Yep,,he was scared and lost control of his bladder,,lol my daughter was mad,my son was happy it wasn't him..Another time my kids was riding the 4-wheeler and rushed in the house and grabbed a laundry basket.I went down the road,saw them an yelled what up..DAD,,we hit a baby bear with the 4-wheeler and we going to catch it.I looked around and there was a momma with one cub,standing off to the side popping her teeth..She had another cub,the one my kids bumped with the 4-wheeler.I said no you not,,get back here.I gave them a long talk about bears..lol..They didn't mess with bears much after that,but they went to catching black snakes and bringing them inside in a lunch box,that didn't last long either,,lol
