I saw a big black bear on Dutch Creek

[Smith]

I saw a big black bear on dutch creek tonight. It was around 12 and it crossed the road in front of my car. It scared me to death. It is very big. If you live up there dont let your kids be out walking and playing by theirself. It was up there next to that road the goes off to the right almost at the end of Dutch Creek. I think the road is gravel. Has any one else ever seen bears in that area?

[Spam]

[Yogi]

Maybe a cow or big dog. Bear I don't know bout that.lmao

Oh Wow. This is interesting. A friend of mine went wild boar hunting down there somewhere. OR he said he did lol. Is there wild boar hogs down there ( or what ever you call them ) No I am not a big hunter lol

[Foggy Mountian]

Yes we have wild boar, black bear and even a copperhead or two. check with fish and wildlife or even better yet take a long walk down around the lake area, or up some long hollow to the ridge top and discover for your self. But most animals will NOT be a threat unless they are defending their young,or very hungry. Enjoy the wildlife don't let it scare you to death. Beautiful country here.

[REAL WORLD]

there may be some wild bore here,but if they are they are few and far between .i am 47 and spent my whole life in lawson bottom ,very secluded in 1970 i never saw neither . i spent much time in the woods.hunting. if you visit this area you should watch for snakes rattlers and copperheads.you have much better chance getting bit than getting attacked by a bear, WE DO HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS ANIMAL HERE CALLED THE[ WAUMPUS CAT ] IT CAN STAND ON ITS BACK FEET AND EATS YANKEES, BUT ONLY THE ONES WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. HEY FRIEND ENJOY OUR COUNTY,DONT WORRY,A BLACK BEAR WILLNOT ATTACK YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE BLOODY MEAT IN YOUR POCKETS .THERE ARE BEAR HERE ,THEY HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE HERE AS WE DO.I CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO POPULATE THEY ARE VERY FUN TO WATCH IN THE WILD.HARMLESS BUT FOR GARBAGE CANS.

one time i was out in the woods a hunting. and i took the belly ache. so naturally i gather up me some soft leaves and got behind this big tree and was gonna releive myself. and all the sudden i felt hot air blowing on my buttocks. i looked around and all was left for me to do is whip. there was a 6 foot bear breathing down my drawers. you know what, i didnt whip. i lost my britches, i didnt even care that when i got to my truck that i said down in my brand new truck seats with a dirty tail. now that the truth if i ever told it.

i aint lying to you man. i will tell you the truth a dozen different ways before i would lie to you.
i was con-stun-pated (i tried to break that down) and when the bear came up, well i just put it this way i wouldnt no more. i think the bear may have trip or something because he didnt catch me.

[there are bears here]

A friend of mine hear his dog barking like they do when they see something and he looked out he back door and there stood a big black bear in the back yard. He lives on Red Banks Road at Peytonsburg. This was about 2 years ago and I had heard other people say they had saw one and a cub on the Poplar Grove road on top of the Duley hill. Another lady told me about her turkey hunting and they were in a hut like and on top of the bluff and it went around growling and could smell them but couldnt find them. It went back down over the bluff growling the whole time, and they got out of ther as quick as they could before it came back. They wewe aorund 1880 around that way. I live about 600 yards form the river and they have been sighted down here before too, my neighbor saw the track. There are too many coyotes out there too.
