So yea, theres this really huge black bear thats been making my yard a little highway. It is, to be fair, the biggest black bear I have ever seen - captive or wild. This is not so surprising, considering a few years back we had a State Record bear shot behind my house. So this particular black bear... it is big. It is bigger then big. I would say it stands (ON ALL 4s mind you) 4 feet high (thats his shoulders mind you)... So possibly an 8 foot on hind legs tall bear. ... easily over 600 lbs... i would say more like 800 something lbs. Maybe even closer to 900.

Now... Im a bit intimidated to go outside on my own now lol... and i def. wont be letting my kids out of sight any time soon... And its scared of people. It heard my voice through the open window (cause it was basically RIGHT behind me, I turned and looked at it cause I heard the footsteps and twigs snapping behind me... and went "Oh.. BIG bear!" and it started to gallop away off into the woods and across the road. I dont know if I should contact the DNR and let them know that a massively huge bear is tromping through the forests so have cyclists and joggers/walkers be more aware of it... or what. Its been showing up at dusk for the past few nights.

.... Its making me kind of hungry for bear burgers.
