Very few people know that there is a large bear population in Eastern North Carolina. Last summer, my husband and I spent a lot of time near Belhaven. We would go out near dusk and see how many bears were out. Sometimes we would find 20 or so and other days, just 1 or 2. It would always thrill me to see any bear.
We found this one just across the canal from the road. (about 20 feet away from us in the truck.) We watched him (or her) about 20 minutes. She/he was not at all interested in us or getting away from us. He sat down and ate, walked back and forth by the corn field and even stood up watching another truck that was coming down the road.
And there were 3 of these. One went into the woods before I could get my phone. They were in the front yard of our house and we saw them as we were coming out the front door. We think they are from last year when we had a momma and 2 cubs who destroyed our pear tree. Now that was exciting!! (as long as I don't see them when I am in the yard!) The picture is not really clear because it was taken through the storm door. No, I wouldn't stand on the porch.
