pfrederi 19,685 #1 Posted December 16, 2025 Maybe not. Looked out in the back yard last night to see a black bear working on the bird feeders. Opened the door and asked him to leave ... he wandered off but was back 10 minutes later.. Today I went out to find the feeders and see where he had been. We are having some work done and the contractor has a dumpster and a porta-potty. set up. Bear tracks went right up to the door of the porta-potty 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 63,891 #11 Posted December 17, 2025 Just a casual observation, lately we have covered topics including plugged drain field, stopped up septic tanks, where a bear defecates and the venerable out house. All are necessary and seem to garner a lot of input but can we get back to talkin' tractors please. 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
