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.

    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. 😑

    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

    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 😋😋

    • @TRERUNSWILD
      @TRERUNSWILD  3 месяца назад +1

      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.

      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.

    • @TRERUNSWILD
      @TRERUNSWILD  3 месяца назад +1

      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.

    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

  • @JamesAmbrose48
    @JamesAmbrose48 3 месяца назад +3

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
