Just before midnight last night, Mrs.Scout heard what she thought were car doors in our driveway, and we went to investigate. Milky Creemator on high, we had a +/- 250lb. bear trying to get into our garbage cans at the end of our driveway. Laser rangefinder this morning verified 36 yards, he was lit up like daylight within about a 15 foot cirle. After blinking a few times, we followed him with the light down alongside my neighbor's property, and across their front yard. He eventually got out of range and we heard him turn over cans 4 or 5 houses down. This was all from our second story office window, and our first bear sighting here. Plenty of deer, racoons, etc., but no bears before this. Our 120lb. husky mix, coincidentally named Bear, slept through this. What a watchdog...
