Thought some of you might think this interesting. I have just moved into my new home (2 months)in the middle of my 24 acres that my wife and i have had for three years now. Last night we were visited by a large Bear for this area of Virginia. Nose was six feet standing on hind legs according to paw and nose prints on my back Glass door also got into the bed of my truck and removed 40lb bag of corn and several bags of trash and drug into woodline. the wife is having a fit. its bow season now for Bear see what happens over the next few days.

Sounds like a fun sort of problem to have! Where are you at? Rockbridge Co. ? I am down in Charlotte Co. and we may not yet take Blackbear here, though I see them often enough

I am in Nottoway Season opened this week Talked to the game warden said that i better not shoot him with the bow over my trash that that is baiting.

PS Season is from oct8th to Nov12th archery and Nov15th to18th Muzzleloading

I thought my neighborhood was rough.

Go get him! He stole your corn, hes gotta go down .
