Generally I love to see the bears, but this one is really trying my patience! He attacked the chicken yard again and has broken into the goose pen twice. *sigh* What once was a good sturdy fence is now stretched and broken and he has taken to napping in the garden outside our bedrooms. I really want him to move on but he has some sort of strange fixation on our house right now. He's circling around it all day long and he's not even startled by my yelling at him.
I phoned the Wildlife Conservation hotline and put in a report but they only have one guy for the entire north island, a ton of phone calls each day and guess what? He's just doing regular bear stuff *grin* Yup, I'm just going to have to put up with him until he tries something more dangerous I guess. Tomorrow I'm off to take all of the bird feeders down
because they may be one of the reasons he's getting so close to the house and we haven't been giving any scraps to the animals so that there isn't any fresh food scent for him to come calling for. I guess I'll just cross my fingers he'll find someone else has a nice little cache of food for him! I spoke with Dh tonight and apparently when he went to work the other morning he had a chat with the neighbor down the road as he picked up his trash from his yard. I guess he forgot to put in his garbage can.You see that cute little furry face up there!? That's Dennis the Menis. Guests at mom's B&B said every bear should have a name, well he's got one now *grin*
