[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2274701, member: 110162"] I remember a few years ago, my now ex wife , was over at my mothers house , visiting after we got home from work one night. I had gone on home, just next door, to get started at my night job of building bow strings. She came home about an hour later, shaking all over and very confused. She recounted her story to me......she had walked out the door at moms house , to a dark porch . She was instantly hit with a very strong goat like smell . She saw a shadow at the dog bowl and assumed it was our very large St Bernard mix, coco, eating . She walked up and started to pet , huh, coco, and instantly realized the course long hair didn't feel anything like our beloved dog, that by the way, was hiding and nowhere to be seen. When she touched the mysterious dark creature, it instantly spun and dove off the porch and disappeared. I suspected she had petted a young transient male black bear . Later it was confirmed that a young male was trying to set up residence in our area. We don't have a bear population in this part of Central Georgia , but I've found bear sign on several occasions close to home. DNR says we are in a transition zone for young males on the run from extermination by mature males in the strong populations north and south of us. What I don't get is why we don't sustain a population . Weird..... [/QUOTE]
