Why I haven't been going for walks
« on: September 03, 2019, 08:26:42 pm »
These pictures were taken last week a couple of blocks from my house right beside the trail I walk on. I just got a copy of the pictures today. It's funny, you know they're there all the time but it just takes something like this and as soon as I hit the bush the hair on the back of my neck stands up. The next day the same house had a bear it one of their apple trees. bears are common but cougars are usually shy. Seeing two like this is very rare.

Yep, they look a little too comfortable!

Yup. Pretty sure when you go for a walk they know your there to. :o

They do look a bit more than comfortable!  Not sure they are planning on staying and carving out a territory, but they look very healthy.  Be wary on the trails!

Seems like Cats and Bears are all to common these days.   Times are changing.  At least carry a big blade with you or not.   I use to hike by myself and ride the mountain bike as well,  but have second thoughts now.

I heard on the radio today that a woman my age just got killed by a Bear this week not much more than a couple hours away
