The big OMG was found this week as we walked through our wooded area between our house and the one behind. We found about 6 piles of bear poop in various stage of aging! It seems we have a regular visitor coming around.

So are you going to keep watch to see the bear or just monitor the deposits?

Great pictures, not seen a moose yet, something to look forward to.
I have seen my first bear this week, thats because we have moved to the west coast of the island for the winter months to caretake a marina. Bear poop not far from the door step this morning.:ohmy:

:rofl:

Hey I'm not saying it was 10' but it was bigger than me - anyhow, size really doesn't matter when it's in your front garden and the 1st one you've seen up close:thumbsup::thumbsup:

He was strolling around the neighbouring subdivision last night around 7pm so he didn't get far, bless 'im he must be a little worried about the cars etc, I just hope he gets to where he wants to go without getting hurt.

I saw a chihuahua piss on the floor in the hallway between the underground parking garage and the elevators in our apartment building. It was at least 5 inches tall.



Yeah, beat that country dwellers :blink:

I always think moose look like they should be wearing shades :)

Fantastic photos! My toddler said it was a pony and my 3 year old said it looks like Scooby-Doo!

We have squirrels in our garden, so we can hardly compete!

Hope you're feeling better PiffPoff

It looks like a baby moose. Here's some Wiki info on its size:


On average, an adult moose stands 1.8–2.1 m (6–7 ft) high at the shoulder.[29] Males weigh 380–720 kg (850–1580 pounds) and females weigh 270–360 kg (600–800 pounds)
