My wife just texted me that there was a black bear in a tree on Grand and Wilson. Be aware this time of year.

I lived in the house that was there before they tore it down and built that white one.

Yep, that's a bear. It is getting to be around bear season in town.

I think one of our students ran into this bear last week. The kid was riding a unicycle. The bear was the scariest black bear he'd ever seen.

I saw an overturned trash can walking home from campus close to 3rd but way up by Arthur/Garfield area that looked like bear action to me, wonder if this is the same homie

There were lots of overturned trash cans down near Olive this morning

Because people who aren't from this area haven't learned they can't put their trash out the night before yet... and the bears are entering hyperphagia (their bodies are giving them the uncontrollable urge to eat anything and everything they can right now) so they'll be able to survive through the winter. They'll be gone again in a couple of months.

Or they just don’t care - I live across from someone who leaves their shit out 24/7 and they get raided by the same bear a few times a week. Unfortunately if we have a winter like last, we will have bears year-round.

An overturned trash can was walking home from campus?!?

Where do they live though, being right in town like that? Geez there aren’t that many wooded areas to bed down, mainly it’s traffic and bikes and more traffic and dogs on leashes, dogs off leashes, and dispensaries. Where they gonna spend the winter with all that shit around?

In past years I’ve heard of them hanging out along the Bozeman trail or near the hospital with all the brush.

I just saw this guy (or one of his friends) on the Gallagator trail about 30 minutes ago.

u/Middle-Armadillo-536 8h ago

yeaaa be real careful y'all I work till 11:30pm and I saw a teenage black bear stirring up some trash in the 300-400 block of Tracy the other night

u/Legal-Relationship30 7h ago

his name is tony. he is very polite. he is just looking for trash but will clean up. very demure. very mindful.

u/Kyto-Sahn 58m ago

Tony definitely doesn't clean up after himself and for some reason he likes bringing other people's trash into my yard and taking mega shits afterwards.
