A jogger once encountered a huge ferocious bear. He got down on his knees and began to pray.

“Dear Lord. Please let this bear be a Christian Bear and not eat me alive.”

To his utter amazement, the bear got down on his knees and also began to pray. He jogger was so relieved. The bear WAS a Christian Then he heard the bear pray...

“Dear Lord. Thank Thee for this meal....

He must have been smarter than the average bear.

The bear almost seemed half-asleep. Wonder if it recently got out of hibernation, i which case it is likely hungry. Probably followed the guy hoping he would throw it some food.

He tried to reason with a bear?

What if the bear wasn’t on the debate team at his school?

Here’s the poor bear trying to do his business in the woods when some hipster runs by listening to Rod Stewart.

I’d give the bear some ketchup.

This is the problem with people feeding wildlife in parks and such. The animals quickly lose their fear of humans and come to rely on humans for easy meals. But they’re still wild animals. This invariably sets up dangerous interactions later. The people kicking off the process with casually feeding the wildlife usually aren’t around when things get ugly for somebody else down the road.

It was a black bear.

Black bears' lives matter!

At least it was only a bear, and not a sea bear.

Evan Matthews said he often sees bears on his runs, but none had dared to come so close.

Here's a thought: You might want to find someplace else to run.

A grizzly bear was walking through the forest one day and he came across a rabbit taking a crap.

The bear stopped and asked the rabbit: Mr rabbit, does that $#!+ stick to your fur?

The rabbit answered back, “why no, it doesn’t”

So the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his ass with it...

We have a problem bear right now.

Might be the same bear from last year.

Over the winter one of my neighbors about a mile away was saying he saw numerous bears on his property.

Well, having a bear pass through is normal for us but having it or them live near us is odd, so asked my neighbor what has changed.

He said all of the local bear hunters used up all of their allowed lifetime bear tags. So they haven’t been hunter in 2 years.

So we’re on “Bear Alert” here, my 3 large 130 pound German Shepherds are gun trained so the .357 magnum I carry will hopefully scare the bear away. Don’t want a Bear vs Dog fight either.
