Come across the Mississippi then, we have plenty of black bear around here. They don’t tend to cause trouble but they are over populated and get like to rummage through peoples trash. They’re most dangerous in the fall when fattening up for winter - if they smell easy food, they’ll go for it. A boy scout got mauled a couple of years back over a candy bar. But other than that, even sows with cubs are not as dangerous as browns out west.

Nah, it’s just living in the suburbs. I’m sure if I had a cabin up north like all the other rich folk around here, I’d have my share of bear run-ins. I do have plenty of stories about deer, and turkey, and there was a bald eagle pair that had a nest about a mile from my house a couple of years back.
