Wow, Wally told me about this one.
Wildlife officials are warning residents that bears are on the prowl for food this time of year after a black bear was shot and killed Friday in a residential neighborhood in Maine’s largest city.
A 220-pound bear was killed at about 7 a.m. in the East Deering section of Portland after a resident reported spotting the bear in a tree 2 1/2 hours earlier. A warden tracked the bear down streets and through backyards before shooting the animal as a last resort because of safety concerns with commuter traffic picking up and schools preparing to open for the day.
That’s a good size bear, and the Deering section of Portland is hardly “The Woods”, its a fairly dense residential zone of the largest city in Maine.
Makes this little number look that much more appealing.
Carry your damn gun, its not just muggers and rapists out there.
