How would you feel if the bear was at your house?

or coyotes

We don't have bears or coyotes wandering around here, although there
have been a couple of people reporting "small bears" in the woods around
their houses...but no verification.

Oh, and out at the national park, the people were in the bears' house.

On our hikes near the Shenandoah, we encounter all sorts of critters,
and have seen what may be bears (they tend to stay off the trails), and
there have even been reports of mountain lions (again, unverified), but
there is no question there are packs of feral dogs out there, which is
why we carry sidearms.

Wow, Maryland doesn't have feral pigs OR coyotes! I wonder how they know
to stay out of that particular state?



"Here" means my little neighborhood, moron. I haven't seen any wild pigs
or coyotes in my yard or on my street in the years we have lived here.

Before you call someone a moron, you should look at a map of the range
of both feral pigs and coyotes. And just because you don't see something
doesn't mean it isn't there, moron.

I have wildlife cameras in the yard no coyotes no bears no hogs

They must avoid your land and your land only, how do you manage that?
Odd that you have that you have plenty of their PREY in your yard but
they stay away.....


The apex predators here seem to be hawks. There's been no sighting of
feral pigs or coyotes right around here, despite what your simplistic
web searches tell you. I'm not saying there never have been pigs that
escaped from farms in this county and went wild, but we've never seen
any, and neither have our neighbors.

In addition to the wildlife cameras, we also have motion controlled
floodlights illuminating the side and back yards. When they click on
late at night, we sometimes take a peek. Just the usual suspects, never
pigs or coyotes.
