Info from Licensor: "I’ve had enough of these two bears. We’ve managed to keep them at bay a few times before, but today they finally crossed over our fence. They got aggressive with us on Saturday. They’re not afraid of us, our dogs, or even the sound of a 9 mm. you’ll see Olive(blue) charge the bear first, then Deacon(fawn) burst out and really go after it. Olive even turns on Deacon twice while he’s trying to get to the bear. She’s always been an overly reactive dog and has gone after him a few times over the last 10 years. Think twice before you decide they’re “cute,” leave food out for them, or put out birdseed... Black bears will kill you and or your animals. Credit: Eva Cogburn"
