August 31st I drive in our drive, and see 2 cubs in by my peach tree, one in it, one on the ground leaning against the tree, I figure he has a full belly of peaches and can't make it up the tree again. Or the sibling is tossing down the peaches to him.
I am very cautious because if Mom is there, I'm in big trouble. No Mom :( so I get in the house. these guys now come out of the tree and go in our neighbors pine tree and take a little nap.
We tell our friend and he comes over and takes their pictures, cute little things, and they posed a few times too oh and spit pits out at him too, they came out of the pine tree and went up the peach tree again.
So, we go back in at dark, they are still outside. We do some research, they stay with Mom for 2 years or the next litter is born, so these guys were born in January and no Mom, they are 8 months old.
We have security camera's and we watch them...... walk on the railing...... lay on the hot tub cover....... look in the window...... romp and play in the back yard. I call the Wildlife Warden, he told us they will not relocate them there is no where to put them, and hands me a can of pepper spray.
They also go to the camp grounds behind our house and the lovely idiot campers feed them, so why should they go and why should be be afraid of us. The lovely idiot campers go home Sunday and they come back to our house.
Gary was able to get a good spray of pepper spray in the one bears face oh and Gary's too :( and my nose and throat but the little guys came back.
I am now researching Bear Rescue places to take them.
I had a few suggestions...... put them in the basement for the winter, they will sleep, ahhh NO. Get in a bear suit and let them think they are their mother and teach them a few things, ahhh NO. Go outside with a ball and teach them how to stand on the ball and get ready for the circus, ahhhh NO.
So my only hope is to have the Rescue facility call me back and help me.
I don't want them shot and killed.
That's my bear story.....
