It's been prowling around my yard and the surrounding woods for the past 3-4 hours. I've scared it off about 10 times but it keeps coming back. It's annoyingly persistent lol.
Here's a pic from earlier:

Yeah he seemed chill even when my dog was barking in his face, didn't seem to bother it much. Luckily I managed to get my dog in the house without too much trouble.

The image quality is terrible. I took the photos with my dslr and a 200mm lens. My battery was low and the autofocus was barely working. There were too many mosquitos swarming me, otherwise I would have futzed around with manual focus to get it nice and sharp.

I meant like with stead hands. How were you that close to the bear and able to take a steady picture?

Eh. I'll just believe you. Im pretty sure bears exist. But it's crazy you live somewhere where a bear can just wander into your yard. Doesn't that hang over your head at all times?

I live in rural Minnesota, they're pretty common here. This is the first time in a couple years one has been so active in my yard though. I haven't had one so comfortable around pets and humans, it is a bit concerning. My buddy is a conservation officer, he says he might trap it tomorrow and place it elsewhere.

Get a couple of old socks, dowse them in mouthwash, tie something heavy to the sock like a rock, and toss it out in that direction. They hate the smell of mint.

I think I'll do that right now. I'm going to toss them near my trash cans, which is what he's after.

lol i've lived in the Smoky mountains in the middle of the woods for years, I learn all kinds of weird tips and tricks when it comes to wildlife and prevention without having to kill stuff. A lot of my neighbors are elderly and have lived here all their lives so it's constant conversations about household remedies for all kinds of useful stuff.

Pine Sol will work also in place of mouthwash. It's that "burning" aroma that overwhelms their senses and frustrates them

I don't get envious of people who live in mansions and what not, but this stuff kind of gets me.

Hell no he wasn't lol. He was gunning straight for my trash can until my dog alerted me to his presence. And then he circles around my house, only to conveniently reemerge out of the woods on the side of my house where the trash is lol. I know what he's up to.

protecting his dog and property > acorns

might need to persuade that bear to look elsewhere for food.

It has it's ups and downs, I own the house and property, on 10 acres of land. I've never seen more stars in the sky at night in my life, and it so damn quiet and peaceful. Everyone is friendly, although kind of stuck in the past. I see maybe 5 cars a day on my road. There's a legitimate community, I grow vegetables and raise chickens, I trade livestock, eggs, and produce for beef, venison, even fur jackets and tools. Everyone kind of does their own thing and helps each other.

But internet sucks, phone signal exists half the time, closest Walmart is nearly 25 miles. There's no such thing as delivery food or uber. There's a lot of venomous snakes, bobcats, cougars, coyotes, wolves, centipedes, venomous spiders, and rarely bears. Local stores are frequently out of stock on everything. Food costs are pretty high. Trees fall a lot and tornados are uncommon but they definitely do happen. There are moonshiners, and as a result, trespassers and you run into drunk guys running booze a couple times a year and they can be confrontational. Police and fire department are 10 miles away also.

The bear ate my dog's food out of his dish and knocked over his water bowl. Now that you have all the facts, who would say are the real victims are?
