Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4333149, member: 10678"] Live in a townhome in Simsbury with a tree line separating our backyard and a golf course. Plenty of ground animals around to interest critters.. Bears/coyotes/bobcats/fisher cats/eagles to name a few.. Have had multiple visits from black bears including Mama and the cubs.. They enjoy raiding garbage containers on garbage day.. Have often wondered if you are walking your dog on leash--in your yard--And a bear is between you and your back deck.. How do you handle that? Not sure acting bigger than the bear or making a ton of noise is tremendously helpful. Any suggestions from Yarders with experience is appreciated as this is a very real potential scenario. Daily bear sightings in our neighborhood. Edit: Have heard of but never seen myself mountain lion sightings in town. [/QUOTE]
