Black Bear in Sauble Beach

Posted by bdenning on August 4, 2008 - 9:28am

There was a Black Bear wandering around Carson Lake Crescent in Sauble Beach last night and this morming - August 4, 2008. He was about 6 feet tall when on his hind legs and was overturning everyone's garbage bins.

:-) Funny

I have a video clip - I will try to post a link in the next couple days.

cant wait to see it

Hehe sorry couldnt help it :) Cant wait to see the video.I am on lakeside just off silver lake and a few years back I awoke to a bear sitting on my deck(he had to climb 7 stairs to get up) scratching himself in the morning sun.Last summer he made my 300 lb. garbage box a drive through diner.As well as knocking everyones boxes into the ditch that leads to silver lake.I see they are selling 500 dollar *bear proof* garbage boxes at the home hardware, a buddy of mine who lives in Parry Sound area says they use old freezers(cheap or free) with the compressor removed(environmentaly correct of course) and they then paint them in colours or murals and add a simple hook to it to lock it.Now that is a good alternative and a good way of recycling broken freezers.
I just know Gary is waiting for a solution using a Guinness Keg..but alas..I cannot find one :)

May the Forest Be With You

bdenning, I find youtube works really well for making an easily-linked video for posting. I tried to get a camera shot of some smaller bandits that invaded my deck the other night -- they are probably there every night but with the pre-olympics technical details I just happened to be up late enough to catch them trying to pry open the screen on my kitchen window. I guess compared to a rambling Big Baloo, these bandits are positively civilized, just scrambling at the birdfeeder and nightly checking out the compost bin.
