We had a bear (about a year and a half old) walk through our back yard a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, we were all inside.

I had one on my front porch in April. He stepped in my newly mulched walkway. My neighbor called to tell us other wise any of us would have walked right out and came face to face. He heard us out the window and tried to climb a tree but just decided to run away from our big mouths that scared him.

We had three come up my driveway and through the side yard two weeks ago. It was a mama(300#)and two yearlings(125# each).

A guy driving by in his car watched them walk across the road in front of him and right up my driveway. He started beaping his horn because my 9 year old beagle bitch Honey was about 25 feet away from the mama and barking at her.
Honey did not like those bears in HER yard.

These three bears have been seen several times over the last month in my area of southern NH. They have become comfortable around houses. They know that people put out food to feed the birds, squirrels, turkeys, etc.
