Kind of funny, as last night I had a bear on my deck eating fallen bird seeds
a small orphaned cub from last yr, someone shot its mother in late June(game warden involved )
and he showed up at my place, following another bear with two cubs, only she wanted nothing to do with him
he was super tiny and wasn't sure if he was going to make it, was in for a hard road, but he made it! beating the odds!
so little by little he made it, thru life on his own, no mom, and thru hunting season and now through winter!
He was the last bear here to den for winter, not till second week in Jan, did it find a place to sleep winter off
so he's a lucky bear for now to have survived with all his disadvantages!
have to check my cam's tomorrow, sure I got a few pic's of the little guy!
