We have horses next to us too and about 2 acres as well. But we're renting, and the gas costs are killing us. Half an hour to activities is soooo long! (For us city slickers anyway, the kids don't seem to mind.) So it's back to a subdivision for us I'm afraid. And back to 1100 square feet too!

We have bobcats here...tons of them, but they aren't really a danger to humans. <br /><br />No on really admits to the cougars, and I'm not sure how nonexistent wildlife gets hit on the highway, but they leave me leery of letting the kids out in the evening.Danahttp://principleddiscovery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-36453112463968788022009-06-01T18:59:13.923-07:002009-06-01T18:59:13.923-07:00When I was a little girl and we went camping up in...When I was a little girl and we went camping up in the Boundary Waters, we saw a bear and it was absolutely thrilling. She (we think) was rifling through our food pack that we had forgotten to hang in the trees as we explored more of the area near our campsite.<br /><br />She didn't eat up all of the eggs.<br /><br />One of my most thrilling and vivid memories of my childhood.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-72887050356570559312009-05-31T06:38:15.417-07:002009-05-31T06:38:15.417-07:00Eeek!

Bears have been a worry of mine out here too... we didn't have any on the island - heck, the biggest wildlife there is the neighbour's overweight mutt LOL ...out here, they sometimes wander right into town, backyards, etc. There's trails through the woods that are lovely, but the maps come with big "Be Bear Aware" logos on them and many people carry noisemakers and bear spray and such. I think we'll pass on the trails!Molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990389309037847365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-9803896539508405242009-05-29T17:28:34.812-07:002009-05-29T17:28:34.812-07:00My grandparents fed their black bear--we used to p...My grandparents fed their black bear--we used to put out corn for them. I remember bear walking right up to the doors of the cabin like they lived there. It never occurred to me to be afraid of them-they were part of the woods. Heck, they were there first! LOL <br /><br />Black bear don't bother people--unless you'd mess with a female's babies--otherwise, we never had a single issue with 'em. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893337600207680012noreply@blogger.com
