Black Bear

I read in the paper the other day that the DNR confirmed that there were black bear tracks found on the east side of the southern part of the peninsula.

Not very far from us.

Wouldn't it be interesting if black bears became common around here?

Just think of the possibilities...

  1. A short 60 minutes west of you, on the west edge of Menominee County/Reservation & Shawano County, bear sightings have become commonplace while deer hunting. Ten years ago they were rare, and twenty years ago unheard of. These days we spot them in the yard around the cabin, 10 feet out the window.

  3. Same for wolves - much more common.

    Imagine what a bear could do to my garden...
