The kids and I were at Yoga today when Gramps came home from the coffee shop and noticed Piper had a squirrel in a tree. When he took a closer look he realised it was a black bear. You can see how close it is to our house and shop......I didn't take a photo to show but the bear was about 15 feet from my sheep, chickens and ducks. We reported the kill as Defense of Life and Property so therefore have to turn in the skull and hide and dispose of the meat. I hate that the bear had to die but that's one less in the area that will threaten the livestock, Piper and the kids. We live in their territory but it's scary to have the ones that are interested enough to come that close to human activity......just another day at the Williams'.......
