Regular Member lwebe10 Posted August 3, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2010 So...our 90 gallon garbage can full kept getting dumped over an we finally seen why heading into town the other day. Right down the road sitting in the middle of the road was a mama black bear and her 2 cubs, Now I am wondering about putting ponds outside! I know you can get nets to keep out herons but you think a bear would go into a pond to catch goldfish?? =( I was really hoping to put one or 2 in next spring for my goldies to play outside in during the summer but not if they would be easy catching for mama an her cubs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashlee18 Posted August 3, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2010 Oh wow...that would be a horrible end to a precious pet. I don't think I would do it...but the worst we have here are raccoons. I don't think I would go outside at all if there were bears 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jeana727 Posted August 3, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2010 BEARS...oh my! (get it?) Thankfully I don't have BEARS to worry about. We see an occasional deer around the area but bears...yikes! I would think they would LOVE a pond! Great for cooling off AND free food! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member lwebe10 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2010 yea we kinda figured it wasnt a dog...most dogs wouldnt be able to tip that thing over its so bottom heavy let alone pick up a bag carry it 10 feet sit an eat....I am not sure if they would but I could totally see them sitting in a pool scoopin up my babies! They dont seem very afraid. When we drove past mum just sat on the side of the road an the 2 cubs just scooted up a tree like 2 feet. Wish I woulda had the camera! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member amynmitchell Posted August 3, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2010 Wow! That is scary. I don't know if they would go fishing, but if you have bears you most likely have raccoons as well and they will fish for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member blackteles Posted August 4, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'd think twice about the pond....once the bears know where to a get a good fish dinner, there would be no stopping them. -Dennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member The Dragon's Rose Posted August 4, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 To be honest, with bears around, I'd consider hiding the garbage can in the garage as much as possible... the LAST thing you want is for them to decide that your house is a good place for dinner... and then decide that you're trying to "steal" it from them somehow. I know black bears aren't too bad when it comes to people (compared with other bears) but I wouldn't want to take any chances! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
