Bear Sighting In Meridian

A black bear was photographed walking around the MSU Meridian campus Monday morning. Everyone thought it was a joke but apparently it was truly a wild bear. LolAttachment 171344

Attachment aint working but that is cool!!

Wow! It's exciting and makes the news when something like that is seen near populated areas. I have to wonder about the long term problems we may experience with these animals being introduced back into our state. Everywhere I've been that bears were common the locals did not care for them. Seems they make a bad habit out of getting into anything that holds food. Tearing up Coolers, vehicles, bee hives, garbage, and yes even chicken coops Scott. They are pretty much a danged pain in the rear. Scott, if you do catch one raiding your chickens, better not shoot it. You would probably get into less trouble if you shot somebody lol.
