Early bears in PG

[mod7rem]

Was out for a walk yesterday afternoon and came across two black bears lounging in a little patch of trees just off the sidewalk. A black one and brown one. Seems a little early.

I go snowshoeing in the bush every day and so far haven't seen any bear signs.

I saw one in PG on valentines day. Threw me for a loop. There was some construction not to far away, so I figured that woke it up

Out in the rural part of PG once in a wile you see bears,, down town next to any green space it’s almost a daily thing.
