I live in a small neighborhood. The houses are like 15 feet apart. My son was coming to the side door with his buddy tonight and a 100lb black bear ran up the tree in front of him right next to the house. My good camera is at work of course, but there's a bear about 2 ft from my roof right now. We called Florida Wildlife and they said "ah, leave him alone and he will go away". Interesting solution if you ask me. I am not worried about me, but if the bear gets startled by a little kid in this neighborhood it could be messy. The bear is small, but definitely big enough to do some damage. Hmmmm, wondering what to do. If we lived anywhere in the country I know exactly what to do...but not where we live. Lived here for 11 years and this is the first time I've seen a bear.
