[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 712082, member: 1963"] It was cool in certain respects, scary in others. I should note that I lived on the edge of town, as opposed to "downtown". Bear were a pain in the butt. We couldn't have bird feeders and had to go through all sorts of contortions to secure our trash. (While businesses involved with food left theirs open.) For the most part, the DNR would tag and relocate the problem bears, but if a tagged bear returned, it was shot. We had one sow who was actually breaking into cabins, and taught her three cubs to do the same. All 4 had to be shot. We also had a hunting season on bear up there. The bobcats and the cougar were no problem, though I certainly wouldn't have wanted to run into the cougar. The only problems we ever had with the birds of prey, including several species of owl, was once, when a neighbor let her chihuahua run loose and it was taken by a bald eagle. [/QUOTE]
