Since it's about time for fawns to appear, this doe in the backyard this afternoon may be scouting the maternity ward.

We’ve had a couple more bear encounters. This morning I couldn’t get home because a bear was enjoying a trash breakfast. Thankfully that trash’s owner pulled up and I asked him to haze the bear. Hopefully he learns to secure his trash.

I recommend getting a bear banger.

Tru Flare Pen Launcher - Thumb Lever

This multi-purpose pen launcher has the ability to deter animals from a distance and provide effective signaling with various flares.

I have used one similar to the above. It launches a cartridge about 200ft distance and it then explodes with a noise as loud as a shot gun. They are quite effective.

Oh, interesting. My dog would certainly appreciate not having the loud noise close to her.
