Yeah, just north of the Rez, south of highway 20 and west side of the Columbia. There’s bears thick everywhere. We’ve had a little yearling trying make our house it’s permanent residence all spring and summer, it doesn’t have too much fear either. If it doesn’t move on soon I might relocate it to the freezer soon.

I know that is upsetting to the ladies and soft men of the general public but the truth hurts sometimes.

Attacks happen rarely all the time now. lol

You mean they are not big cuddly yogis worthy of close up selfies with the pups ?

There is a lot of that going on these days, sure makes for some fat lazy bears.

On a serious note, I'm just glad the poor lady survived. That must have been a horrible ordeal!
