WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

BEAR PEERS INTO CAR.JPG

Bear Busters!!! (You gotta imagine the music ;))

In reality, you call 905BEAR …. if you want to see the local C.O. (conservation officer) show up in his uniform with guns, that is :). DH took this photo in his workplace parking lot this morning. The bruin was going from car to car checking for goodies. Once DH had snapped this guy, he tried to chase him off — you don’t want to encourage the bears to become habituated to this kind of take-out — but the bear dropped to all fours, turned to face him, and made distinctive popping noises with his jaw …. translation: Leave me alone, buddy, I’m eating. And that’s when C.O. Chris was called in. He chased the guy off with some high-velocity rubber.

And this bruin below … he’s mastering the art of opening bear-proof garbage bins. Where there’s a will there’s a way :)

    As the picture was downloading I had a feeling it was bears and the first thing that popped into my head was bear busters - music and all. I can’t decide if this is cute or scary.

    Wow. What, this makes three days in a row you’ve come across bears? I’m rethinking my plans to move out there when I become a NY bestseller!

    Yikes!!! Did I ever tell you when I worked in Labrador they used to helicopter the bear cannisters overhead, drop them about 5 miles from our research aka fishing site and the pilots would wave as they flew back to base. This was us out of radio space :(

    I used to freak out regularly and was pretty handy with bangers. Not sure how I’d feel about seeing them everyday. Very brave Loreth!!!
