The Bear


We moved to this house in August of last year and a couple of months ago we came home in the middle of the afternoon to find that a bear had been in our trash, having the proverbial feast. We called the Fish & Game and were told to put Pine Sol and ammonia all around the can because it would mask the smell of the garbage and would help to keep the bears away. Here are a couple of pictures that we took. The first one is the trash lid after we pulled it out of the bin. We are guessing that he sat on this side and went on his treasure hunt from the other side. The next pic is of the paw print on the front of the can. It was about 6" x 7 1/2". There have been a couple of visits since then, but nothing like this. That was until last night, The Night of Nature! More about that in my next post.
