Thank goodness I am moving next week. For the past 2 weeks I have been hearing BIG branches breaking and leaves crunching. I can not seen it but my dogs have and it scared them and they pulled me up the stairs to get back in the house. I thought it was time to call about this LOUD noise in the woods next to my house. Fish and Wildlife said it was most likely a bear. She asked me to go look for foot prints and I found something that looks like it could be but not too sure b/c it is not a good print. Did some looking on the web and found that there is a bear that is here on the island and they do not want to move it b/c this is it natural habitat. It has been moved already from another county and found its way here last year.
Advise from Fish and Wildlife. Don't go outside at night. If I do go out bring a spray bottle with ammonia in it. Don't leave lights on and don't use a radio outside. Thank you so much Fish and Wildlife for letting a 300 pound black bear live next door to me in a very developed area. There are more houses then vacant land on the part of the island where I live. I wish no harm on the bear and that is why I called. I want them to move it before it does something that makes them shoot it not to mention I want to walk my dogs before bed without having to worry about a bear coming out of the woods.
I just think it is time to move out of Florida. Gators, Bobcats, Bears, venomous snakes and spiders all on and island that is only 27 square miles...too much for me to handle...I am scared of all that stuff.

. theres blackbears in NY, and cougars in the Adirondacks, but they pretty much stick to the deep woods, away from people. no deadly spiders or snakes to worry about. timber rattlers in a couple places supposedly, but very rare.
