I have heard reports of bears living in the area for many years and I am sure I have stumbled on evidence of what they do DO in the woods. But to date I have not seen a bear, other than the one that was sleeping at the Oak Lawn Farm Zoo in the Valley. That is not a true statement for my morning partner in crime as Cheyenne had some pictures posted over the weekend, and a hair raising story to match.
So what should you do if you do encounter a black bear? Well I am happy to report that our news reporter must have done the right thing because she is here this morning. In case you are unsure, here is the to do list for black bear encounters.

We all know that bears are not the only critters in the woods, so thanks to Canada Wild, we have a list of wild animals and what to do if any of them get too close.
