Message: [QUOTE="Biff, post: 3989161, member: 5"] Way up north here in central CT (Farmington Valley), we have been seeing a tremendous increase in sightings. In the last 5 years I have personally had 6 bear sighting in my yard and more that 6 more sightings elsewhere while driving or cycling. I once walked out of my garage, turned the corner, and was face to face with a bear (10 feet away). Fortunately the sight of me was so scary to him he ran away and up a tree in my yard where he napped for a couple hours!!!! And JS, since you know me, you know why the bear was so scared when he saw me. ;) A couple years ago I was in my back yard reading and I looked up to see this guy just waddling past.

That's where it gets real scary. [/QUOTE]
