   A young woman killed by a black bear yesterday in Swan Hills , Alberta. She was a tree planter and they are pretty bear aware. Has been a death most years for several years. So much for the old story; they won't bother you if you leave them alone.

One of the fella's had his gas jug chewed overnight out on the thinning block. Made a hole in a corner, but had tipped the jug so it never poured out. :D

I was sitting with my back to the window mucking on the computer when I heard a noise, turned around to see a young black pawing at the glass! I am thinking it was a yearling newly separated from the sow. The landlady called the conservation office and was told to wait to see if it left, if not call them back. I felt sorry for it, if habituated it was a goner.  The heat fires and heavy smoke are making life awfully tough for wildlife. Food sources are  limited.

I live in Nevada near Lake Tahoe.  We are down in a valley at 5,000 feet.  The Caldor and Tamarack Fires have displaced a lot of wildlife this year.  The drought makes it even worse.  We have black bears wandering around in neighborhoods surrounded by sagebrush and alfalfa fields.  Bears are everywhere.  They are desperate for food.  Try to work around them as best you can.

The fires have been very hard on wildlife. A number of bear and others have been treated for burns, especially burned feet.

Very Sad for all wildlife. It's hard to believe with the technology and equipment that we can't take care of situations before they get out of control. But politics, rules and regulations that have made situations that could have been prevented or minimized.

Bears have been popping up around here numerous times in the last few years.  Sadly they all seem to end up dead, whether it be some idiot with a gun who has never seen a bear before so he kills it and loses hunting rights for life or whether it be because people who have never seen a bear before follow it around in their car until it ends up killed on a highway.

Good to hear they are coming back.  I killed a legal doe in 1966 when I came back from the service, got written up in the locals for killing the first  legal deer in years in Franklin County,  Had also begun seeing turkey and pheasant.  Seems we Missorians had just about eaten the game animals out during and after the depression and were slow coming back.

I had one on camera checking out a licking branch I had hung for my deer.
