We have dozens of deer in our neighborhood but this sighting was a surprise. The bear was about 200 feet from my house on Sunday. I guess Yogi liked the aroma of my pork shoulder!

    Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

    Not sure how long I'd hang out smoking the pork with that guy lurking, at least not unarmed.

    @JohnInCarolina - That was nothing compared to having a mountain lion kill a deer in my back yard a few years ago. Many of our neighbors were armed for a while when doing yard work.

    We kept an eye on the bear and fortunately it didn't stay around long.

    My Brother lives at the bottom of a mountain in Virginia where the Bears seem to pass through often. He told me about one morning where he came out of his house and ended up 15'-20' away from a good sized black bear. I suggested he get a shotgun when he promptly corrected me and said "with my wife in the house? I'll take my chances with the bear". It seems "his little Sweetie" has a Bear-sized temper.

    If I lived in your neighborhood, I would be strapped going outdoors with my Colt 1911 in .45 ACP or at least one of my 357 magnum revolvers.  Wow!
