Bears in Upstate NY too!! Posted by Camm [Email] (#191) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Camm) on Wed, 3 May 2006 18:10:02 In Reply to: Yeah, like I noted, my daughter was going, Noel, Tue, 2 May 2006 06:46:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just west of Albany, in a fairly suburbanized area no less. Last week, out at my mom's house, we lost 2 bird feeders and found the the mulch all dug up. Mom figured it out after seeing a line of muddy bear prints crossing the driveway, clear as day. The day after, our neighbor saw the beast himself, up on his back legs in his yard - supposedly a hair over 6'.
Makes me wonder if the bear sightings are a function of the time of year - isnt this when they de-hibernate? Also, as for getting a dog... I gotta disagree. 15 years ago, our family's dog, a BIG half airedale half German shepherd nearly lost its life (along with half of its back) in our backyard after getting swatted by a passing bear. Abe (the dog) had a line of nearly inch-deep slices running nearly the length of his back from the bear's claws.
