A Close Encounter

We've known there is a bear around for quite a while now. It leaves big piles in our yard and gets all the neighborhood dogs riled up at night. Of course there have been rumors that it was trapped or hit on the highway, but I'm here to tell you that as of 6:00 this morning, it is most definitely still here! Josh was leaving this morning to go hunting when he heard something walking. We always have deer around so he looked up expecting to see one, but it turned out to be the bear coming toward him! Of course he had to come tell me....lucky for him I was already awake. It was hard to get a picture but I did some editing of the contrast and color so you can see the fellow. Turns out it's not so little either!

So if Josh was on his way out to go hunting, did he shoot the bear? :)
