It looked like a big black dog

[jonesy]

but was a little different, got 50 feet away and it was a big black bear crossing the road, good thing I slowed down when I first saw it. Have seen moose, deer, turkeys, raccoons, skunks, crossing the road but never a bear till today.

Did it look like this? This was taken in my backyard.

Crossing in front of me I could put up with. One that wants to meet me.... not so much.

It was more the running bear size, about as close as I got, the other one is much to close for me.

I have seen several here in WV. but have not had a camera ready to take the shot. Have also seen a couple mountain lions.

I see one or two a year cross the road or beside the road here. Not to rare to hear of one getting hit by a car. I took this pic last fall. The mother is directly above cub at top of pic in the tree line watching her cub in this pic.

So, this begs the question.....Why did the bear cross the road???

[Richie R]

To get to my feeder!!

[Snaggletooth]

Sometimes they just want a lil snack.

[Snaggletooth]

Sometimes they go out for fast food.

Because it wanted to...

Is that bear, sitting at the table, at a DQ? The table looks familiar.

[Snaggletooth]

Might have been. He was sitting on somebodies gloves.

I wonder if Big Tom would arm wrestle him for a super banana split!!!

I don't think there is enough toilet paper on the bike, for this lot !!!!

Whatever you do, do not stop to take a pic of the cute little bear on the right, when mama is hiding on your left.

I tried that once and mama did serious damage to the drivers side of my Suburban. I also found out that a POed mama can run 45 mph for about a mile.

Never did get the pic, got to busy driving down that logging road.....
