for those of you that know me and bears and have enjoyed my post on them
well last night I had my first bear here this yr, a young male, that I helped raise(1 of 3 cubs I had that yr)
this one was an orphaned cub from back in May of 2019 ( the other two I got in Nov of 2019, when there mother got hit by a vehicle a a couple miles from me, and I went and got the two cubs!
and she(there mother) was a bear I actually raised back in like 2012 or so, she had 6 different cubs over the yrs)
any how,
he was last here in late Dec. and then gather he slept a little over the winter and coldest times!
but last two days here have been super warm(broke all time standing high record yesterday 74 degree's)
so guessing the heat wave and sunshine must have stirred him up and got him walking about!
some hoe he managed to get past 7 trail camera's I have on my property and ended up on my deck last night licking up sun flower seeds birds dropped!
then sat at my door for a few hours watching the back yard
its always good for me to see bears I helped raise, and pretty amazing to em, how they never forget me, and how things went when smaller
Over the decades I have helped a lot of bears, and still have some that are 15+ yrs old, that even ever in my area, will stop by for a visit, hang out and just relax here
then away they go, some time don't see them for months or even years
but when they are about, they all come by like they were never gone!!
so will see if he stops by tonight
way too early for bears to be out and about, as food isn;'t that plentiful, so odds are bird feeders in area will be getting some attention early this yr LOL
Local gun clubs corn field and other food plots will be getting hit harder now too!
