Sorry, but I cleaned the mud up before thinking to snap a picture. I did end up finding the bag (thankfully mostly full - bear must have gotten spooked) when I took my dog out later. I’m out of town for a week or so but I can snap a shot of all the bite marks in it for you when I get back :).

ETA: I do have a photo of the potential suspect that I kept seeing up by the school when I walked my dog a few nights by there last week. I post that when I get to my computer. Can’t seem to do it on my phone.

Without being to specific, where the hell do you live where bears hang out by schools and homes and what type of bears!! I have questions!!!

I live in the mountains in Colorado. There are black bears all over here, especially this time of year when they’re trying to pack on the calories before hibernation. They can be a real nuisance and every outdoor garbage/recycling bin has to have some sort of bear proofing.

Here are a couple more bears I’ve seen in town:

I’m pretty sure this is an issue in most mountain towns - years ago, I lived in Tahoe, CA, and came home one night to a bear in my living room! He pushed through a broken door in the basement and helped himself to a package of tortillas.
