This humidity is of the tropical variety.

I would like storms this time around.

Yeah hard pass on grizzlies . No thanks. I cannot imagine how much different life would be here if black bears were aggressive and predators. Everyone would have to be armed, ha.

I'll stick with local animals. A few from over the years.

Still no thanks on bears although they are cool. Ran into a huge grizzly in the Tetons some years back. Wasn't aggressive but just the size of it. It was doing exactly as you said, eating berries. It was actually crushing Berry trees by rolling.

Yeah that’s the only problems bear really get into… they’ll take out a whole coop or flock. I’m not sure I’ve heard of bear attacking chickens just free roaming… but that thing will get inside a coop and go nuts. First time ever my folks had a big bear in the woods behind the camp in Woodstock, CT.

Sorry to take away from the conversation of extreme weather we’re about to endure, for guidance on Mother Nature’s other challenges.

Misery mist humidity drizzle. Humidity literally drizzling from the sky.

As I said, bear are protected. ”Not pleased” is an understatement!

neighbor has chickens. They have probably had 50 of them killed by raccoons, bear, fox, and coyote. the guy is a cop, and NH fish and game was not pleased when he shot and killed a bear that was attacking his coop. my house is like 300 yards away, and I have seen 1 bear (but plenty of bobcats and coyotes) in the time I’ve lived here.

Summer as it should be. You can def feel the change in the air as the sun begins to set. Let the dew wars commence!

Thanks guys!

Not an issue here, thankfully!

I’m just asking because it’s something I’ve never had to deal with.

They grab a lot of fawns around my place. Truthfully there's too many deer.

Ha, they are everywhere and again, super shy but curious. Like large raccoons. No one ever gets mauled by a black bear. I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of like a bear coming up to a napping human, taps it or something and then freaks out and runs away once they wake up. Theres that famous video from somewhere in Mass that was made into a Ring doorcam ad.

Dead livestock is my major concern. Coyotes love newborns.

Im glad you confirmed that. Didnt want to declare a blank but nothing measurable fell while I was up there.

We have coyotes, but even they keep a low profile. Neighbors complain about pets disappearing, and animal control encourages reporting them and (shall we say dealing with them). But, can’t imagine bears walking about on a daily basis. They’re protected. You just have to run and hope anything or anyone makes it on their own!

Thankfully I don't have any. I've only seen tracks once. Although some beehives were raided nextdoor.

Huh? Bears are the most shy animals out there. I hiked into one two days ago. Thing just stared at me and then seemed embarrassed I was looking at him and turned away… walked down the path a bit and looked back again, then fled. I would 100% run into a black bear out of most other things. Moose are the mean motherf*ckers who will stand off with you. Bear just want to eat their berries and grasses alone.
