Adorable or Dangerous? The Bear near the Cabin

- One of the last videos I talked about how my area has a large population of black bears but that I haven't seen one around the cabin for a couple of years. It looks like that has changed as shown by my cell cameras placed around the property. This particular set of video clips is probably about 50 yards from the cabin.
I noticed that in the picture of the bear on June 1st it appears to have it's hackles up. I'm wondering if it caught the scent of me or my dog River.
This bear has been in the area when I've been at the cabin so I will need to start taking precautions.
No more leaving bird seed out and I will probably start having a handgun on or near me as a noise maker to scare him off if he gets too brave or has an interaction with River dog.
So far he is respecting the yard boundaries. Hopefully he keeps his distance.
WOW! Bears🙀. Hope he doesn’t get you or River. Be safe. ❤️✌🏻
I’ll keep the porridge locked up!!
Nice capture. I will say try and not leave any trash around (learned that a few yrs ago). I also cleaned the bbq good when we were done. That could have been a otter
I have lots of water in my area so otter is certainly a possibility. Everytime I show up I'm expecting the grill to be in pieces. 😑
both.... i had just asked you about bears or wolves a few months ago because i was also being visited... scary when you think of the dog or visiting kids. stay strapped Tre :)
Yeah, I'll probably have to have something handy
Bear roast ! Potatoes and all the fixins ! lol. And I’m gonna be the outsider and say Fox. With these ridiculously mild winters we’ve both seen we’ve seen a pretty big uptick with fox but I’m sure all of those similarly sized animals are doing much better as far as survival rates of their young. Take care T
I do have a grey fox in the area and that was my second guess!
Very nice and interesting video.
Thank you very much!
Hi Terry,if there’s no bird seed,food scraps or dog food out in the yard the bear is probably just passing through from time to time ..I think having Riverdog around the bear will probably keep a respectable distance from your immediate yard …saying that ..sometimes..they lose any fear of a human or dog..so if you start to get nervous of it hanging around you will have to dispose of it…on the good side tho if that were to happen..bear meat is very tasty 😋😋
I think you are right that he is just moving through. that area is a natural corridor for deer. Makes sense it would be for other animals. So far he hasn't checked out the cabin so hopefully he is still shy of humans-dogs.
Cute until they're not... Really like the short reel format, Tre.
I buddy of mine from NO Land suggested it!
@@TRERUNSWILD Gonna be cool! YW buddy. :-) You have so much cool content that can get out faster to your subscribers. You go boi. (Don't forget to update RD's rider.) ;-) Extra treats in his trailer - er your van.
Dang little to close. Had one take one of our small deer feeders last year and we never did find it he must took a snack with him lol thanks for video
As long as he stays out of the yard I'll give him space. He seemed to be just moving through so hopefully he isn't even aware of the cabin yet.
Opossum maybe. Hope you have more trail cams around. The bears are creatures of habbit. Bold ones that are close like that deserve a cautious human and pet dog for the rest of the summer. We have way too many now at the cabin build in WV. The cell cams work best for immediate security and protection. Stay safe.
I love the tactacam cell cams. instant alerts for security. We don't have possums this far north. It's funny how I always think of bears as northern animals but you have them in WV and another comment from GA said they have them.
@@TRERUNSWILD tactacam works best for us in the mountains here.
It looks like a skunk to me but I can't see a white stripe it's very low to the ground and raccoons typically are higher off the ground.
The second little critter could be an opossum they tend to be nocturnal
We don't have possums this far north so we can eliminate that. Seems he had a black tip on his tail?
If you encounter, do not make it feel welcome, do not talk to it in a friendly tone. People need to learn how to imitate nature and speak nature’s language. When an animal encroaches on another animal’s territory, that animal responds with warning growls and snarls and a hostile posture to drive the invader away. Bears are confused by the mixed messages humans give it. Don’t confuse the bear or it will keep coming back.
Solid advice.
Whatever you do Terry, stay calm as it reassures the Bear that you’re not a threat..always back away slowly and never run from them..I’d encourage you to safety proof your main cabin..
I say its a pine martin, the black tip on the tail gives it away.
The bear may be to comfortable being around the cabin when your there.
That would be cool if it was a martin! I've not seen one there yet but they are definitely in the area so it very well could have been
Great captures! So fun anticipating what will show up next.
For sure! Nice to have something other than deer for a change
The bear is both. The “eyes”? Raccoons 😊😊😊😊
I do have lots of coon on the cameras.
Black bears are pretty harmless.
He shouldn't bother you maybe you should buy some bear spray just in case and keep it on you.
Typically black bears which is a much less aggressive breed will run a few clap or make noise they don't like to interact with humans.
You definitely want to be prepared and you want riverdog to be safe. They recommend putting bells on your dog.
All the bears I've encountered in the woods have always run like a scared chicken when they saw me. Except the one that tore my tent apart on a camping trip.
Couldnt see enough of the animal..i had a fisher here once..made sure i kept Lacey inside..they would have torn each other apart!
At least they could climb a tree and get away from River
I think coyote. Stay safe!!
Grey fox was my second. This seems pretty low to the ground. but Idk.
Bears can be dangerous but I just pay attention when out at my place. They are more of a pain in the butt. Will get into your stuff, grill, plastic gas cans & such. & make a mess of the place. Had one tear the screen out of my porch to get to the mouse traps.
Oh geez. Peanut butter on the porch traps. I hadn't even thought of that! That is my concern is that they can be so destructive.
Hey Terry. One of my trail cameras caught a black bear on my property at my cabin build spot on June 8th in upstate NY. I don't think he's been back since.
Was he a young bear? I wonder if mamma is kicking them out of the family and they are looking for new homes?
I don't think he was a young bear, but I'm no expert. I just hope he left the area.
I have 5 black bears that call my 40-acre property home. I love having them around. They keep the coyotes away from the property.
Any issues with them breaking in or destroying stuff?
Someone up the road has alot of bears! Lots of scat there apparently.
Nope...They tend to be very curious when I'm not there. I have had them come close to the cabin when I'm there, but as soon as they see me. They fly up the mountain. You just have to not make it easy for them to access food. I really enjoy having them around. But I might just be lucky. They are still wild and unpredictable.
I BBQ outside and often wonder if a bear or 2 will fight my BBQ because they can smell meat smells under the hood?..
Like wommen, bouth😂
😂
Scary cool
River has been barking at something at night. I thought it was deer but maybe this guy.
Making new friends? :). All kidding aside, be safe out there ..
Friends from a distance hopefully!!
i say, what does the fox say
Grey fox was my second guess!
You know the fish and game laws as well as anyone. I would go ahead and grease him. They can cause all kinds of damage. You have too much invested in the property. At least put up some window shutters. Good luck Uncle Terry.
Maybe take that canister of cheese balls home when you depart. Some food scent has him curious. The other animal looks like weasel or maybe a fox. It’s so low to the ground.
I usually burn the fish fry oil in the fire but I've wondered about the BBQ grill and all the grease that drips on the bottom. I've kind of expected to come back and find that smashed up.
coyote... you can see his tail....
Idk, seems a bit low to the ground. I do have grey fox though. That was my other thought
I think it's a,Wampus Cat.
Could be. Or a chupacabra. Either a good chance.
@@TRERUNSWILD Be careful Brother. Lol
Every predator is dangerous!
Truth.
But, do they?
Do they what?
@@TRERUNSWILD Poop in the woods!😀
😂
Too close for comfort
Hopefully he stays out of the cabin
👁👁🖐😎
hola!
