I got a photo of this one on my property in central MA. last fall.

This one was visiting my yard outside of Worcester in March. It smashes the bird feeders and steals a suet cage or two when I forget to bring them in at night…

I saw Black Bear regularly floating the Rogue River and one night I woke to the sound of one in our camp trying to break into my cooler. I tried yelling and throwing rocks to scare him off, but instead he advanced sniffing, so I discharged my .357 into the ground at his feet and he scooted.

One of the other campers across the river complained to the park ranger about the gunshot, who came and wrote me a ticket for discharging a firearm in a National Park.
Better than the ranger calling the coroner to pick up your mangled body.

Bears like the water as much as many of us. They are good swimmers.

Here in Canada I don't think your allowed to carry in a park unless you have a special permit that some folks can get for protection, like a guide, a forestry worker, occupational workers, otherwise it's a no no.

I use to work as a park Interpreter(naturalist) after my evening program was over and I turned of the generator, all the visitors were gone and it was very dark, all the eyes would become visible. Some nights I was wishing I had a gun but most of the eyes were from small mammals. Some nights there were so many eyes it was like stars in the night sky.

I had to have to a program on animals in the park so people would know how to react to an animal encounter. I worked in Sasquatch Provincial Park, they called it that for a reason but I have no idea how to react to an encounter with a Sasquatch. Yes, I had a big footprint cast for my Sasquatch program.
I thought I saw Sasquatch in my garden this weekend
