Strolling around with no cares.

He was probably just checking to see if you had properly extinguished any campfires/burn piles. The new TV commercials show him giving bear hugs to those who are careful with fires. You may have missed your chance

Seriously- do your see bears very often?

So - You were about to go outside. Strolling around bear.

Every spring and early summer I do.

Thank goodness we do not have any bears in this part of the state; we are quickly reverting to the primitive state however. When I was growing up here, you had to HUNT wild animals, and I only remember seeing one deer in the wild in my first 50 years. Now they are everywhere, eating my tomatoes and flowers; wild turkeys everywhere...and we have a resident fox, a couple of Canadian Geese, some Mallard Ducks, several Raccoons and enough song birds to keep me broke buying birdseed. Sharn Jean and I even ran on to some Bobcats in the park a while back, in broad daylight. We even have a few Mountain lions, although I have never seen one.

You guys can have the bears, though. There a few in the Southern part of the state, and they are coddled there. Was talking to a guy that killed one that was destroying his RV. He said he may go to jail over the incident; authorities were not amused, even though the bear was a threat. They would be a disaster in this area now, since we have grown from a sparsely populated rural area to a suburb consisting primarily of acreages.

Just heard an NPR show about bears. Approximately 6,000 in the state, 6,000 in VT, 4,000 in MA.

They've asked people not to stock bird feeders and secure their trash.

And, I think they said, 800 or so permitted kills too.

Good thing our governor pardoned those 3 Ivy League bears at Dartmouth. Lol. Politicians.:confused3:
