Black Bear in my back yard
Yep, it's true. Had DEM at the house last night and identified some dropping I found yesterday as that of a Black bear. BTW, I live in Burrillville Rhode Island. Not bear country.

We know someone who lives in the remote Exeter/Richmond area who told my wife that she has had bears in her back yard.
Also, and noone I tell ever believes me, but about 5 years ago while driving on Route 2 in the Charlestown/Richmond area at about 2:30 AM going fishing I saw what was definitely a bear walking on the edge of the woods near the side of the road.

Well, I've known my share of bears over the years...they don't like to be rushed...that's for sure.
I'd suggest he sets a table for tea with honey and engage in some lighthearted conversation to get to know the bear, before he suggests any potential change in the bear's venue.
If that fails a 30-06 between the eyes would work as an alternate plan, but if it's at close range he'd better not miss

I guess next time someone asks you something Painfully Obvious you can just answer "Does a Bear $hit in my Back Yard"

It was only a few years ago that a black bear mother and cub had taken up residence in the Melville Ponds area here in Portsmouth.
There are more black bears here in RI than most realize.
Don't be so surprized when you hear of a report about mountain lion sightings.The rural regions of RI are perfect territory especially with the out of control deer populations.
