I can't decide which is more shocking to look at...the tractor, the bear...the tractor, yep the tractor.

What bear...just look at that tractor over there.

Iv'e been living here for 20 years in september. Had my bird feeder destroyed half a dozen times . Others have seen bears around

over the years ,always at night. This is the first time ive seen one in my yard in the day light. he or she was pretty calm. Heather took

a several minute video of it laying there eating the sunflower seeds from the deck about 25 feet away. it finished the seeds got up and casaully

wondered back in to the bush (thankfully).Next i really want a round hood . Not quite ready yet of course (unless i find one i can't refuse)

but when the time comes, you'll all know.

a decent round hood is virtually impossible around here,i know a guy with several but he goes to the states for most of them

Beautiful Job Ken ! Time to get it dirty?.... Oh! and you can keep the Oversized Wildlife. Glad we only Fox/Deer sized Mammals roaming around wild on this Rock.
