That wouldn't be near Butler, but near Bay Elementary.

Now getting that on camera would be nice. A friend of mine had a black bear cross a golf course he was on some around here a few years ago. Great news about this one. Good to hear.

Good thing its not garbage night. The bear would have a feast!

No kidding about the garbage. Neat to know bears are still around!
I did hit something bigger than a dog a couple of months ago on E Point Washington just east of Groovegirls' place - it was dark, whatever I hit was dark and just kind of "ambled" out into the road. But, it evidently got up and kept going. No damage; in fact, nobody believed I had hit anything (like I would make something like that up) until our lab decided to sniff around the front right tire and started barking/yelping. Fuzz and I figured out it must have been a wild hog, and a couple of days later we saw a couple of wild hogs dead on Bay Drive. Case closed.
But now I wonder...
and I think I'll instruct everybody to walk the dog on the main road now, instead of down the powerline toward Eden.

Black Bears are very shy. Only very hungry ones come near people and it is usually because of garbage being left out (dumpsters). These woods used to be full of them but they are still hunted here though there are hardly any left. They will sometimes migrate large distances, even crossing open waters during mating season.
