Either food or a threat. They will treat us as such. Are there bears in the area? Duhh. Are there alot ? Not really .Lived lived here all my life & havnt seen a bear or panther. That doesnt mean there not here. they are more night time animals. As some have noted .Leave them alone, Dont leave food out. Dont allow your trash to be thier food. They will move on. Dont shoot them because you can. Only if they are a threat. Which is usually never the case. We put ourselves in danger by going to them. Leave them alone, respect thier space.

A cute cuddly bear can mutilate you just like a cougar or lion. ITS SIMPLE: If I catch you feeding a bear or any other wildlife, I will confront you and let you know not so nicely that your doing wrong. 1st time is a warning. By feeding the wildlife your inviting them back into my neighborhood where my kids play outside. I will not stand for you feeding them and inviting them back. I will approach and confront you to put you in check. If your one of the people who say "Oh, we intruded on they're habitat," obviously!!! What are we going to do? Demolish the houses and move inward???? Get over yourself! Use your brains people. DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE. COMMON SENSE. People are extremely naive when it comes to wildlife.

Exiting I-10 exit number 22 heading South on Avalon Blvd, we had a black bear cross Avalon Blvd from East to West just to the South of the Waffle House. I guess he likes trash filled with syrup; 'smothered covered and chunked'. This is the first time that I have seen a bear on Garcon Point. We all need to be careful and take common sense precautions.

If there are panthers then yes there are bears. On Jacks Branch Road near Lantham Chapel in the wetlands are all kinds of wildlife. Yes it has been years since they were spotted but that is what you call living in the country........also known as "God's Country". Hey there are Florida panthers in Barrineau Park.

They can be dangerous if scared or cornered. They will move on if left alone with no incentive (food) to stay. Please use the information from the FWC regarding bears.
