Uninvited guest - bears on the prowl
Numerous reports of bear sightings in and around Seeley Lake have been coming in the past two weeks, but few pictures have surfaced. This, however, is one of a series taken by Sharon Stauffer from inside her home on the Double Arrow Ranch.
The black bear appeared one morning after Sharon's husband, Rich, had left for work at the Valley Market. She photographed the bear as it climbed up the porch railing, sniffed at the hummingbird feeder, and then poised like a car, perched with all four feet on the railing.
Rich came home and fired a couple of harmless shots to scare off the critter, but this didn't bother him and he returned. Sharon tried yelling at the bear to no avail. Finally, the clanging of pots and pans persuaded the unwanted visitor, who had demolished some bird feeders, to amble away.
Rich estimated the bear to be between two and three years old and around 250 pounds.
