Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Feeders here attract bears as well.
My nieghbors put up feeders every year.
Bears knock them over every year.
I'll admit I put feeders out this year.... Hopefully the bears leave them alone.
One year a bear tire into something that was right outside my daughter's window.
She was quite literally sleeping two feet (separated by a window) from a bear.
We just have black bears here though.... Not too scary.
There's a Bear ranch in Newberry. ( East of here about an hour drive) the other day one of his take bears got out. A storm knocked power out and she climbed the fence.
She was a real tame bear named Sofia.
Oswald's bear range.... You can Google it.
Anyway the cop didn't know she was tame and shot her.
It is a real shame.... They do good work there.
They got a law passed allowing them to continue to operate as they are the only place in Michigan that rehabilites injured or abandoned bear cubs. They give them a great home.
All the bears have a huge area to be bears. Lots of food.....ect.View attachment 1820678
We went a few years ago and loved it.

I love this picture!

I live in a snowflake state, so I doubt it, but Ill look into it.






Wait, what? You do??? I don't think you've ever mentioned that before.





It doesn't sound harsh at all! We all jumped for joy when that roof caved in.

I'm really saddened by the struggle you are having Room.
Your state and New York have always puzzled me.....

The bears there are very tame.... It's not hard to tame a bear. Black bears aren't really aggressive and are very intelligent. Oswalts bear ranch takes in orphan bears and give them a good home. Where they have plenty of room to roam and plenty of other bears to hang out with. I think this year I would like to take my grand daughter Claire there while she is up for a visit.

If you're in the process of building a homemade houseboat and forgot which road you left said boat in the middle of, then please give us a call. We found it. We also need to have a chat.

Nope. My guess is big load, small trailer, empty 6 packs. Lots of "bubbas" in the woods up here
eta: give away is this move was attempted at night.

Ours usually fly off the road and over a boulder cliff.... boulders that could hide a semi trailer.... and or parts there of....

Well smart thing at least if they had actually strapped it down to the trailer theyd have lost it too....?

Or maybe they did... just un strapped it and tipped the trailer back down and took off.

Who knows....

Probably will sell well at the police auction at the end of the year.... maybe to the same guys that dropped it?
