this bear shows up every spring, he’s around 350lbs. I’ll try to have my wife post a video of him from the night before last when he was up on our porch looking in the window.
We built our house in the woods and the bears were here first so we just have to take precautions and as long as he doesn’t get too aggressive we can co-exist.
I have family that lives out your way (Orchard Park). Even though they live in town, they have deer in their backyard almost every day. My uncle told me there was a black bear in town for a couple of days a few springs back.
If the bear is up on the porch looking in at your wife, you may have to work out some kind of deal with the bear. If he stays off of the porch and does a few chores around the cabin and the pond - then you might reward him with a few trout!
And if he is really polite, then you will plant a couple of blackberry bushes for him.
