Seen a bear today

[okhunter]

Was walking out to check my deer feeder by the house today about 2:00. Got within 30 yards or so and heard something take off running, looked up and saw a nice sized black bear run off. I just stood there a minute trying to register what had just happened.
This feeder is less than 100 yards from my house. Not sure if he will be back but it was pretty cool seeing one anyway.

He was probably looking for the AC.

Quit putting Honey Buns in your feeder and that will stop

Or a pool.

That would be enough to leave brown stains!

I'm just north of you (Leach/Kenwood area) and have noticed that there's a whole lot more sightings of them lately. There's been 2 of them seen within 3 miles of my house in the last 7 years. There was also one hanging out in Salina, just on the edge of town. There's a video of that one.

Very cool! Have you thought about a trail cam to see its comings and going?

Hopefully he'll become a regular. Is that a bear legal county?

Good question. I'd hate to see the bear get a citation...

I got nothing. But it is pretty cool.
