I live in the Atchafalaya Basin and they are all over down here. A fella I know's Chesapeake Bay Retriever got into it with a bear in his neighborhood that was raiding trash cans and that bear put a major whoopin on that dog, something like 80+ stitches. From what I was told the wardens wanted to fine the dog's owner for the dog attacking the bear.....
Seth, you know that pipeline that's right pass the tracks on Thurguson Rd. in Berwick? Last spring
seems like every time I passed early in the morning there was a moma and 2 cubs on that pipeline.
