Burger had a few close encounters of the wildlife kind yesterday. The first was a garter snake in the beans. I chased it into the corn for him . . . (We have a deal--I take care of snakes for him, and he takes care of spiders for me.)
In the evenings, he has been watching deer from a tree stand. Last night after supper, he went down to watch for deer, and Papa Bear showed up instead. The bear looked at him, then skirted around the tree stand and went on his way.
Burger was looking at the camera when he noticed movement--the bear had come back and was standing up with his paws on the tree! While he was debating what he would do if the bear decided to climb up after him, Papa Bear decided to amble off. Whew!

Try to find that bear when it counts! He'll be no where around.
Tell Rich to be careful about that old adage about laying down and playing dead when you surprise a bear. I always figured that was nothing more than practice for what's fixin' to happen a few seconds later. he he
