My trail cam caught a bobcat entering my backyard this week. I’ve sworn up and down for months that I saw one run across the road on my way to work one morning. Husband, brother, and parents didn’t believe me. Now I have the terrifying proof lol

He just popped in to sample some of that home cooking and famous hospitality of yours. It’s all they’re talking about on Pawbook

Really?

I’ve never been in Maine and not seen a bear

The only bear I've been near in Maine was in my yard, too. All the hikes I've been on, all the time I've spent in the forest, and ended up like 10 feet away from a bear in my garden.

I also have a random tarp on the ground. I intend on killing some grass.

What's yours for

I've lived here all my life and in my 41 years I've only seen maybe 3-4 bears out and about.

They are hard to spot!

Great picture! But remember, your backyard was his first so he was just checking out what the what was. LOL

We've had two bear attacks over here in Vermont in the past few months, and I saw three myself over the summer. Was there a bear baby boom or something?

Good thing you have that cleverly disguised pit trap for it.

I was delivering mail in rural Waldo County, about 5 years ago and saw, what I thought was a big black dog, in a field...then it started to run and bears have a distinctive run...it was a big bear and I had just left a customers yard. The customer and her young granddaughter were in the garden. I turned around to go back and warn her, because it was headed her way... During my 32 years career as a rural carrier, I saw all kinds of wild critters...it was always fun to see wild animals.
