I would move!!!

Kentucky, for the most part, doesn’t really have bears. We def have possums and raccoons to rifle through our trash though

The bears are pretty chill here. Currently battling the poachers and coyotes. Despite a 4 to 0 body count, they (the coyotes😁) insist on trying to tear into my chicken coop

No, of course not
We have iguanas here 😂😂

Someone in the neighborhood spotted an aligator once.

Yes, we do have bears in our area. They have not been a problem. Coyotes are a by far greater problem. We are semi-rural, every house is built on 1+ acre. Our huge development has its’ own Facebook page. Communication races very quickly.

We don’t have bears here, only coyotes. They don’t spread trash. They only eat small pets.

😮

Not a bear, but Raccoons and Possums.

Colorado front range west of highways. Only a few streets between me and the wilderness. Bears in my yard every night during the summer. I learned to not keep trash out the first week I started living here.
The black bears are big scaredy cats trying to eat all the food. The deer around here are braver than the bears. I talk to them all the time.

We don’t have bears in Las Vegas. But we have a lot of coyotes and mountain lions. They haven’t stolen any chickens since I got my 4 great Pyranees dogs. They are 130 pounds of white fluffy love. And hate coyotes.

Holy crap. Do you normally have bears? Or are they just going crazy getting ready for winter? If you regularly had bears I would think that you would have bear proof trash bins

Garbage that wasn’t done with an artistic flair… That actually explains a lot of modern art 😂, or “garbage that was done done with an artistic flair.”

Yes, several times.

Not yet. A mountain lion was sited and photographed about 100 yards from here about a year ago.

No bears here.

No, not even when we lived in our most rural area.

A bear of a dog maybe, but no bears around where I live. Have coyotes, but no bears.

Bears and deer generally stay out of the city, though both are periodically spotted.

Though we do have raccoon, opossum and badgers too though.

Yes and dear. The bear was camping years ago, Deers get hungry

Raccoons not bears.

Actually this past few weeks my parents had their home broken into by a bear about 12 times. My dad’s deaf so he doesn’t notice the bear until it’s inside with him. It’s pretty comical listening to their stories about this. Finally they got the whole house wrapped with electric wires

No. For us it’s usually a pack of wild boars. They dig up everything.

Many times - lived right in the national forest of Lake Tahoe for 5 years, then right up against the Front Range in Colorado Springs for 20 years — So far, no bear sightings here in Florida, though I hear there are a few out there.

No, but does an ex-girlfriend count!

Not my current home, but in the past I lived in the woods on a dirt road in Upstate New York and I had lots of critters. All kinds.
The ones that scared me was a pack of wild dogs, I had to call in help for that situation. I’ll take a bear over a pack of wild dogs.

No but the damned raccoons will get every egg given a chance and good luck getting to any nuts (filberts-due to maturation timing) before the squirrels.
