#10  Thank you Dron, I'll pass on your compliment. She's a meek mild type but puts up with nothing from animals (including me).

She's yelled at bears a couple of times but that was the creme de la creme of encounters. We've lots of pics of bears on the Arlo and trail cams.

#9  One night in wee hours [Orleans]
I spotted the oddest of scenes:
The butt of a bear
On a fence, in midair,
Then its cub's, up and over...
O rare midnight rovers!
So now I must share,
Though I know you will stare,
And I know what it means...
All these tests and machines...
Like I'd said I'd seen bears in Filene's!

Okay, so it was a pretty dark night, years before the great bear panic of 2012, and a sensible person would just admit that it could've been the world's two chunkiest skunks, but I know what I saw, dammit.

#8  I've yelled at a black bear and threw stuff at it to get out of the trash.

And I also got chased by a skunk.

Wildlife is fun.

#6  ehh, big deal. We had a black bear on our deck here in NH. My wife grabbed the camera and went out to take a picture of it. The bear came toward her so she yelled at it and chased it till it ran off into the woods...it stopped at the edge and stared at her then kept going after she yelled again.

SCFI, I actually prided myself on being very good with dogs and felt guilty later, but the thing was being a continuous asshole.

I actually beckoned to it and gave it a bit of jerky. I wanted to be thought of as the 'sahib who can tame wolves', see. Now
they only know me as the city bastard who hits wildlife.

The locals had told me 'you can't think of them as dogs, sir!'

The guy must walk saddle size bow-legged by the size of what they must be based on that video.

#1  I once kicked a wolf in the face. 😎 He actually looked around to see if anyone had seen him getting insulted then ran off. I remember his expression was like 'WTF dude this my home!'
